Overview
- Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said Nicholas Ray, 28, was arrested in Spring, Texas, and is being extradited to face charges of extortion, written threats to kill, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device.
- Authorities report the threats targeted Florida-based Jewish or pro‑Israel media figures, including Karol Markowicz, Josh Hammer, Seth Dillon, and Laura Loomer.
- Screenshots shared publicly show messages accusing Dillon of involvement in Charlie Kirk’s assassination and warning that he was “living on borrowed time.”
- Reports say Ray followed five accounts on X, including anti‑Israel feeds and Candace Owens, and he allegedly threatened to hang Hammer at the U.S. Capitol and to hang Loomer.
- Dillon says he preserved the messages and alerted law enforcement, while officials emphasize the investigation remains active with further details possible.
