New massacre ‘threat’
A Manhattan man attempted to extort a Colorado company by threatening their employees with a “Las Vegas part 2,” authorities said Wednesday.
Victor Casillas (inset) was arrested by federal agents Tuesday for repeatedly warning the company, which wasn’t named by officials, via e-mail that he intended to murder at least three employees, whom he referenced by name, before invoking the recent Las Vegas massacre.
“I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY GOD DAM FUNDS…A– HOLES…WELL GET READY 4 LAS VEGas part 2,” he wrote in one e-mail from Oct. 4, just three days after Stephen Paddock opened fire on a country-music concert, according to a Brooklyn federal court complaint.
Casillas was held without bail at his arraignment. His lawyer declined to comment.
