New Orleans Mass Shooting Plot

Gillum's family had reported him missing and warned law enforcement that he had made specific threats to harm Black people.

The suspect is currently being held in Florida pending extradition to Orleans Parish on charges of making terroristic threats.

The arrest occurred just as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival was set to begin, prompting heightened security measures.

Federal and local agencies collaborated on the operation after discovering disturbing evidence of Gillum's intentions.
