A Texas man has been accused of making threats to attack a youth conservative convention in Florida headlined by former President Donald Trump last month.
Prosecutors say Alejandro Richard Velasquez Gomez, 19, of San Antonio, posted threats on social media to carry out “a day of retribution” and “revenge against all of humanity” targeting attendees of Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit. The three-day gathering was starting July 22 in Tampa, Florida.
Upon his arrest, authorities discovered that Mr. Velasquez knowingly possessed child pornography on his phone, according to the complaint filed in the Western District of Texas.
