A 19-year-old from Jamestown, New Mexico, has been charged with making violent threats online in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. According to court documents, Jace Allen used an account on X.com under the name “Jebron Lames” to post threats targeting minorities, Jews, and an Ohio city council member after Kirk’s death on September 10, 2025.
The FBI’s Toledo Resident Agency traced the threatening posts to Allen’s phone and residence. Agents from the Gallup Resident Agency interviewed him at his home on September 11, where he admitted to making the posts. 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 claimed not to own any firearms, investigators found videos on his phone showing him firing both a rifle and a handgun in August 2025.
Allen is charged with transmitting communications containing threats 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 and Philip Russell, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Albuquerque Field Office, announced 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.
“A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
