Overview

• Treven Michael Gokey, 49, was booked on felony counts of making a terroristic threat and using a computer to threaten after a welfare check at his Phoenix apartment.
• Court paperwork says he threatened to “shoot up” Cruisin’ 7th near Seventh Street and Osborn Road, called Charlie Kirk a “martyr,” and used anti-trans slurs while telling police he wanted to harm others to send a message.
• A commissioner found probable cause on Sept. 18, set a $250,000 secured bond, and scheduled hearings for Sept. 24 and Sept. 26 with conditions including house arrest and no weapons if released.
• Records note he said he lacked a firearm but could access one, and they document prior contacts including a Sept. 7 call threatening to shoot bystanders and a Sept. 2 suicide attempt.
• The case comes as institutions reported threats following Kirk’s killing during a Utah campus event, highlighting concerns about politically motivated violence.
