Tyler Maxon Avalos from FBI affidavit (Screenshot: Tampa Free Press) An assassination threat against U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has led to the arrest of a 30-year-old Minnesota man, after federal agents tracked a murder-for-hire TikTok post that offered $45,000 for her death.
According to the Tampa Free Press, the suspect, Tyler Maxon Avalos of St. Paul, Minnesota, is facing federal charges for Interstate Transmission of a Threat to Injure the Person of Another, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 875(c).
The investigation began on October 9, 2025, when a Detroit-based TikTok user reported a chilling video to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center (NTOC).
The post, under the handle @liminalvoidslip, depicted Pam Bondi’s photograph with a red sniper-scope sight aimed at her forehead.
The text accompanying the image read:
“WANTED: Pam Bondi”
“REWARD: $45,000”
“DEAD OR ALIVE (PREFERABLY DEAD)”
Avalos reportedly added a sinister caption beneath the image:
“cough cough when they don’t serve us then what?”
Federal agents quickly classified the post as a credible threat to the life of the sitting U.S. Attorney General.
Within hours, FBI agents obtained emergency data from TikTok, revealing that the account was created using a Samsung Galaxy linked to an email address containing Avalos’s real name.
Cross-referencing information from Google and Comcast, agents pinpointed the originating IP address to a St. Paul residence. Surveillance confirmed Avalos’s presence there on October 16, and his name was verified on the apartment’s mailbox.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Becky Cowan Wright swiftly signed a warrant for Avalos’s arrest based on the probable cause affidavit filed by FBI Special Agent Jurchisin of the Minneapolis Division, according to Tampa Free Press.
Court records reveal Avalos has a long and violent criminal history, a fact federal prosecutors are using to underscore the seriousness of this latest threat.
2022 – Felony stalking conviction, Dakota County, Minnesota
2016 – Misdemeanor domestic assault (originally charged as felony strangulation), Dakota County, Minnesota
2016 – Felony third-degree domestic battery, Polk County, Florida
The Florida conviction in particular connects Avalos to Pam Bondi’s home state, raising further concern that the online threat could have evolved into a physical one.
Hmmm, Bondi must be doing something good that rattles the lefties enough to put a hit out on her.
Where did 45,000 come from? He/she should have rounded up.
“Florida Man’’ at it again.
I doubt this guy had $45, much less $45k.................
I doubt this guy had $45, much less $45k.................
Well, she’s Pretty....the left HATES BEAUTY,
Tsk, tsk. The failure to teach kids math these days. There’s public education for you.
It appears to be news to some people that TikTok is not privileged communication...
People are stupid.
Criminals are extra-stupid...............
It would not be surprising if one of these threats turns into reality soon. They have really become unhinged.
Check out the big brain on Tyler./s
Won’t hear a peep from the legacy media about this. Can’t have people think the left really is deranged.
I cant seem to find a verifiable pic of him.............

United States of America,
lllllllllllllllllllll Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
Jose Avalos,
lllllllllllllllllllll Defendant - Appellant.
____________
Appeal from United States District Court
for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
____________
Submitted: October 23, 2015
Filed: March 24, 2016
Jose Avalos was convicted of possession with intent to distribute fifty grams
or more of methamphetamine. . .
The drug charge against Jose Avalos arose from a search of an apartment in
February 2013. At the time, police in Council Bluffs, Iowa, were searching for Juan
Avalos, Jose’s brother, after Juan escaped from a halfway house. A probation officer
notified police that Juan was staying with his brother in an apartment in Omaha,
Nebraska. . .
Avalos’s description of himself as
-6-
a “kingpin” in a jailhouse telephone call likewise supported a finding that he was a
large distributor of methamphetamine. . .

Avalos Sentenced To 108 Months In Federal Prison After Pleading Guilty To Kidnapping Juvenile

Kidnapping Part of Attempt to Collect Drug Debt From His Mother
SALT LAKE CITY – An associate of drug traffickers, who assisted two others in kidnapping a 17-year-old boy from his mother’s Utah business in August 2018 while trying to collect a heroin-related drug debt, will spend 108 months in federal prison.
Nadia Carolina Avalos, 34, of Phoenix, was sentenced Tuesday morning by U.S. District Judge David Sam. Avalos will serve 36 months of supervised release when she finishes her prison sentence. There is no parole in the federal criminal justice system.
Two other defendants in the case have also pleaded guilty to kidnapping. Issa Jassim Al-Sadoon, 28, of Phoenix, pleaded guilty to kidnapping in March and was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison and 36 months of supervised release on July 8, 2020. Juan Carlos Moreno Trinidad, 43, of Phoenix, pleaded guilty to kidnapping in July. Sentencing for Moreno Trinidad is Oct. 13, 2020. His plea agreement includes a stipulated sentence of 144 months in federal prison, subject to Court approval.
“Organized crime is active in Utah. As the United States Attorney for Utah, I have made it a top priority to confront and dismantle criminal organizations. This case is a glaring example of why we must keep law enforcement pressure on drug traffickers who are drawn to our neighborhoods by an unhealthy demand for illicit drugs. A fugitive leader in a narcotics trafficking organization, operating from south of the border, directed a ransom kidnapping in an otherwise safe Utah neighborhood. . .
As a part of her plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Avalos admitted that she came with others to Utah in August 2018 to collect a drug debt owed to Oscar Rene Chacon Lopez, aka Gio, another defendant in the case, from a woman in West Valley City. According to a complaint filed in the case, the defendants conducted surveillance on a business in West Valley City, operated by the woman. After they were not successful in collecting the money from the woman, Chacon, calling from Mexico, directed them to kidnap the woman’s 17-year-old son. . .
This case is a part of an investigation the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force and the FBI in Salt Lake City started in early 2018 targeting a drug trafficking organization distributing primarily heroin. The investigation revealed that Chacon managed and directed the activities of multiple co-conspirators in Utah, Arizona, and Minnesota. . .
Um...it’s already reality. Trump....2 known attempts and Charlie Kirk.
Did he really think he could post something like that without getting rounded up?
Oh, and where is HIS picture?
I think you have to post a bond for that kind of reward to prove you have the money. They should prosecute him if he didn’t do that. As dumb as many people seem to be, why don’t the Feds set up a sting like this? Offer $50 K...1/4 up front...and arrest any clown that tries to collect.
Oh, he’s far too clever to have a picture you could easily find.
FAFO—winning!
