FBI Charges Incel Ally Of Extremist Nick Fuentes With Terror Threat Against Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point Event

San Antonio’s ABC affiliate reports:

A 19-year-old San Antonio man was arrested after threatening a mass killing at the Student Action Summit in Florida, the FBI said. According to a federal complaint, Alejandro Richard Velasquez Gomez made social media posts that the FBI determined were similar to another one posted before an actual mass killing and investigators allege he was planning a copycat crime. The complaint said that Gomez threatened “revenge” on the attendees of the event that was hosted by the conservative group Turning Point USA on July 22-24.

The Daily Dot reports:

Known online by the screen names “LatinoZoomer” and “MestizoZoomer,” Velasquez has been tied by the FBI to the extremist “incel” movement. An FBI agent who interviewed Velasquez claimed that “he intended the post to evoke Elliot Rodger.” Turning Point USA has been an enemy of Fuentes and his followers after the conservative group attempted to ban them from attending their summit last year.

In 2014, Elliot Rodger killed six and injured 14 near the campus of UC Santa Barbara before killing himself. Since then he’s become a hero to some on the far-right.

Nick Fuentes and members of his “groyper army” have disrupted multiple Turning Point and CPAC events for not being extremist enough.
