A 19-year-old from Jamestown, New Mexico, has been charged with making violent threats online after the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025. According to court documents, Jace Allen used an account on X.com under the alias “Jebron Lames” to post a series of threats that included plans for mass murder and targeting minorities and Jews. He also directed a threat at an Ohio city council member.
The FBI’s Toledo Resident Agency traced the social media account to Allen’s phone and residence. Agents from the FBI Gallup Resident Agency interviewed Allen at his home on September 11, where he admitted to making the posts. During the interview, Allen described himself as a Neo-Nazi who hates Jews and minorities and said he wanted to help spark a civil war by terrorizing people online.
Although Allen told agents he did not own any firearms, investigators found videos on his phone showing him firing both a rifle and handgun in August 2025.
Allen is charged with transmitting communications containing a threat to injure another person. He will remain in custody pending a detention hearing. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison.
Acting U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison stated: “A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
Philip Russell, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Albuquerque Field Office, joined Ellison in announcing the charges.
The case was investigated by the Gallup Resident Agency of the FBI’s Albuquerque Field Office and is being prosecuted by Supervisory Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew McGinley.
