Federal authorities have arrested 64-year-old Anibal Hernandez-Santana in connection with a drive-by shooting. The incident occurred outside the ABC 10 news station in Sacramento, California, during the early morning of September 19th. This happened just one day after a small protest was held at the station. Fortunately, the shooting resulted in no injuries.
Following the arrest, investigators reported finding a handwritten note inside the suspect’s vehicle. The document allegedly named several public figures as potential future targets. Among those mentioned were Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
Authorities stated that the note referenced the Jeffrey Epstein case as a motive for the alleged targeting. This detail has become a significant part of the investigation into the suspect’s intentions.
Reports from Variety indicate that Hernandez-Santana’s social media history contained frequent and strong criticisms of former President Donald Trump. In these posts, he reportedly expressed his opposition and a willingness to “fight like hell.”
The suspect’s attorney, Mark Reichel, has argued that his client’s political beliefs are attracting undue attention. He suggested that the case is being influenced by the suspect’s left-wing views.
Initially released on $200,000 bail by local police, Hernandez-Santana was later rearrested on federal charges. The new charges relate to interfering with a licensed broadcast, and he is now held on a federal detainer.
FBI Director Kash Patel responded to the arrest online, stating that targeted violence is unacceptable and will be fully prosecuted. The federal investigation is ongoing, and it has not been confirmed if additional charges will be filed.
