An Illinois resident has been charged with threatening an FBI special agent based in Minneapolis, court papers reveal, as reported by Fox News.
Jose Alberto Ramirez is scheduled to face federal court proceedings on Wednesday afternoon. The charges against him allege that he used information from documents stolen by agitators following the shooting of Renee Good to make threats against the FBI agent.
The affidavit indicates that agitators had taken materials, which included sensitive personal information, from government vehicles parked in Minneapolis.
The affidavit further explains, “After the theft, the personal details of employees, such as residential addresses, phone numbers, and emails, were exposed publicly on social media.”

The documents also recount how a series of expletive-filled text messages were sent to the work phone of an FBI special agent from a specific phone number.
The affidavit explains that the text messages “were sent in succession and respectively stated the following, ‘[Victim A’s Full Name}, ‘Yahahahahhahaha b**** a** n****, I know where your mom lives bro. And your dad. And your kids buddy.’ ‘Get home safe and fast.’”
The affidavit also indicated that a voicemail left by the same phone number declared, “What up [Victim A’s First Name]? You b**** a** n****. Your day will come n****. B**** a** n****.”

The document noted an incident report from authorities with the Village of Schaumberg Police Department that described a 2024 complaint by a manager at the Woodfield Mall in Illinois.
Court documents alleged that a manager reported an employee named Jose Ramirez to police and provided the same number associated with the threatening texts and voicemail sent to the FBI agent. The report noted that Ramirez was terminated for threatening to shoot another employee and indicated that Ramirez was sending threatening messages that he would be returning to the workplace despite being fired, the affidavit says.
