Man who threatened to kill kids & gays at San Diego Pride is also a repeat bank robber [View all]

Two days before San Diego’s July 12 – 14 Pride weekend, an anonymous man called the event organizers to tell them, “I think I’m going to have to kill all the gays and the children. I hate the f*ggots.”

He hung up and reportedly called back minutes later to say, “F*ck Donald Trump. I hate Hillary. I hate f*gs. I’m going to shoot up the Pride event.”

San Diego police identified the caller as a 31-year-old man named Andre Lafayette Holmes. Police later pulled him over at a traffic light, found that he had a cell phone matching the number used to make the calls.


According to Newsweek, “When SDPD investigators searched his vehicle and home, they found evidence of from the three robberies, including a large bag of cash, a semi-automatic pistol, [a rubber "old man mask”] and clothing that matches what the robber was wearing in surveillance videos.”
