Man Indicted For Plotting Bad Bunny Concert Mass Shooting in Bid To Spark ‘Race War,’ Feds Say

An Arizona man plotting to shoot up a May Bad Bunny concert in Atlanta to spark a 'race war' in the lead-up to the Nov. election has been indicted.

A 58-year-old Arizona man who spent months plotting to stage a violent attack at a Bad Bunny show in Atlanta in May in order to spark a race war ahead of this November’s presidential election was indicted by a federal grand jury on Tuesday. Last year, however, the source told authorities that Prieto started making concerning comments “advocating for a mass shooting” that the affidavit said would specifically target Black people, as well as Jews and Muslims. On March 23, Prieto attended another gun show in Arizona where he allegedly told an undercover agent that he was still planning the attack, fearing that if he waited until after the election, “they might have everything in place you can’t even drive, you’ll be stopped,” according to the affidavit.
