Bad Bunny Concert Allegedly Targeted For Mass Shooting & “Race War,” FBI Reveals

June 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bad Bunny was on a big North American tour this year in support of last year’s album, nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana, a trek that federal authorities claim was almost the target of domestic terrorism. Moreover, the FBI recently unveiled an indictment against white 58-year-old Arizona man Mark Adams Prieto, and it claims that he tried to carry out a mass shooting at an Atlanta rap concert in mid-May, which lines up with the Puerto Rican superstar’s tour stop in the city this year. Adams allegedly sought to provoke a “race war” before the 2024 election, and to target Black people and other ethnic minorities at this event.

Furthermore, the FBI claimed to have learned of this supposed plan through an alleged confidential informant, and sent an agent for Adams to recruit and confide in. Apparently, he sold some rifles to another of his close connections, and spoke with little reservations about specific details of the alleged attack on this tour. Informants claim that Adams told them he chose to target Atlanta due to Georgia’s previous history as a conservative state before more Black folks moved there. Allegedly, he picked the Bad Bunny concert due to the high number of Black people he thought it would hold, and planned to distribute Confederate flags in the area after the attack while screaming “Whities out here killing” and “KKK all the way.”

Then, federal authorities reportedly pulled over Adams on May 14, the day of the Bad Bunny Atlanta show, as he drove through New Mexico, and seized seven firearms during the arrest. A grand jury delivered the indictment and prosecutors charged Adams with firearms trafficking, transfer of a firearm for use in a hate crime, and possession of an unregistered firearm. Neither Kendall Jenner’s rumored boo nor his team have responded to these claims or the indictment.

Meanwhile, Bad Bunny just wrapped up his tour for his latest album with a spectacular three-night in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which you can find our review of here. Fortunately, none of the violence that Adams allegedly planned took place at this Atlanta show nor at any other. Hopefully federal authorities, colleagues, and communities at large can continue to prevent these horrific attacks when faced with their deliberation.

Arizona Man Plotted Mass Shooting At Atlanta Rap Show To Incite Race War

June 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In one of the strangest stories to hit the rap world so far this year, it seems a tragedy was narrowly avoided. According to Atlanta’s WSB-TV a man from Arizona was arrested and is now facing federal charges. That came after he was caught trying to plan a mass shooting. The man’s name is Mark Adams Prieto and he was arrested and accused of selling rifles. He was doing so in an attempt to begin a race war before this year’s presidential election. The public revelations follow a months long investigation. It began in October of last year and resulted in a May arrest.

An affidavit submitted by the FBI during his indictment reveals that they were aware of Prieto long before the investigation officially began. That included running into him at multiple gun shows and campaign rallies over a three-year span. Subsequently they claim that in the past year his comments began to develop violent and racist sentiments as he plotted a racially motivated mass shooting. “Prieto believes that martial law will be implemented shortly after the 2024 election and that a mass shooting should occur prior to the implementation of martial law,” a source told the FBI. Thankfully the vigilant watch kept over him prevented an escalation to actual violence.

It was in January of this year that Prieto made the comments about a mass shooting. He revealed to agents that he was specifically targeting Atlanta as he saw it as a symbol of societies downward trends. He specifically discussed targeting a rap show due to the increased chances of an African American crowd. Gun violence has unfortunately been an extensive part of the history of hip-hop, even up to the current day.

What do you think of an Arizona man arrested by the FBI plotting to incite a race war by committing a shooting at an Atlanta rap show? Do you think he would have followed through with his plans if not for his arrest? Let us know in the comment section below.

Three Men Charged Over Chiefs Super Bowl Parade Shooting

March 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Three men have been charged with federal firearm offenses over the shooting that occurred at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl Parade last month. Unsealed documents showed that investigators concluded that at least a dozen weapons had brandished firearms. Additionally, at least half a dozen had opened fire at the event. One person was killed and over 20 were injured, including 11 children. The shooting occurred just minutes after members of the Chiefs squad had left the stage set up outside Union Station in downtown Kansas City.

Per the Associated Press, “Named in the new federal charges were 22-year-old Fedo Antonia Manning, Ronnel Dewayne Williams Jr., 21, and Chaelyn Hendrick Groves, 19, all from Kansas City. Manning is charged with one count each of conspiracy to traffic firearms and engaging in firearm sales without a license, and 10 counts of making a false statement on a federal form. Williams and Groves are charged with making false statements in the acquisition of firearms, and lying to a federal agent.” Furthermore, the men made their initial court appearances on Wednesday.

Two Men Charged In Death At Chiefs Super Bowl Parade

However, these federal charges are only the latest charges relating to the parade. Last month, state authorities charged two men, Lyndell Mays and Dominic Miller, with second-degree murder. Authorities determined that it was a round from Miller’s gun that killed local radio host Lisa Lopez-Galvan. She had been in a nearby crowd of people watching the rally. Lopez-Galvn, also known as DJ Lisa, hosted a food program on a local radio station.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce each donated $100,000 to GoFundMe campaigns related to Lopez-Galvan’s family. However, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, who was in attendance, said there were no plans to cancel the upcoming St. Patrick’s Parade. “We have parades all the time. I don’t think they’ll end. Certainly, we recognized the public safety challenges and issues that relate to them,” Lucas said.
