NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – A New Mexico teen is facing charges after making violent threats online. Jace Allen, 19, is accused of posting on X under the name “Jebron Lames” after the death of Charlie Kirk. Authorities said Allen posted about planning to commit mass murder, targeting minorities and Jews, and shooting up unspecified locations. He also threatened an Ohio city council member, telling them, “You’re gonna be one of the first to die.”

The X account was traced to Allen’s phone and home in Jamestown, New Mexico. Authorities said Allen admitted to making the posts, and said he told them he was a Neo-Nazi who hates Jews and minorities, and said he wanted to spark a civil war. He told authorities that he did not own a gun, but videos on his phone showed him firing a rifle and a handgun last month.

Allen was charged with transmitting communications containing a threat to injure another person. He faces up to five years in prison.
