FBI: Dozens of HBCU threats linked to one juvenile; suspect prosecuted in state court as minor – By Kevin Johnson (USA Today) / Nov 14, 2022
The bulk of the threats leveled against historically Black colleges earlier this year are believed to be linked to a single juvenile who has been prosecuted as a minor by state authorities, a senior FBI official said Monday.
The juvenile was not identified, but the long-standing inquiry into more than 50 racially-motivated threats that unnerved the nation’s Black colleges is believed to have been resolved with the suspect’s identification and prosecution, said the official who was not authorized to be identified by name.
Federal investigators initially identified “several minors” as possibly associated with the threats, which prompted a wide-ranging inquiry involving at least 30 of the FBI’s 56 field offices, but later linked the communications to one person.
