Alejandro Richard Velasquez Gomez, 19, of San Antonio, was arrested earlier this month after FBI agents alleged he posted threats on social media to carry out a mass attack on the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit convention.
— A San Antonio man remained jailed Sunday authorities accused him of making threats against a convention of young conservative activists held last month in Florida.
FBI agents allege Velasquez posted on Instagram that the first day of the convention would be"the day of retribution the day I will have revenge against all of humanity," according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in San Antonio. According to the complaint, agents said they believed Velasquez had planned an attack similar to a violent rampage in 2014 in which Elliot Rodger, 22, killed six students and wounded more than a dozen others near the University of California, Santa Barbara, before killing himself.
