SAN ANTONIO — "I have a whole clown crew waiting."
"...planned this massacre...."
"There's worse coming."
Charging documents say those were among the social media messages sent by a 19-year-old Puerto Rico girl, and former Uvalde resident, who the FBI says threatened the South Texas community over several years, starting in 2018. Documents say Victoria Gabriela Rodriguez-Morales also claimed, in those messages, that she helped to plan the 2022 massacre at Robb Elementary School, when a gunman – who Rodriguez-Morales claimed is her ex-boyfriend – killed 19 students and two teachers over the course of 77 minutes.
Rodriguez-Morales was arrested by the FBI this month, and has been charged with threatening interstate communications.
Documents say that Rodriguez-Morales in 2018 sent email threats to "kill public officials, shoot schools, and kill teachers and students"—messages she admitted to sending. She was in juvenile custody at the time.
Two years later, documents say, she was released from juvenile supervision, upon which her family relocated to Puerto Rico.
A continued pattern
That move didn't stop the threatening messages, however.
According to charging documents, she continued messaging or commenting on online posts and users, threatening various institutions including Uvalde police, the local high school, Morales Junior High, the Texas Department of Public Safety and even Texas A&M.
The threats, made via Facebook, Instagram, email and other platforms, not only continues after the Robb shooting; she directly references them, and claimed she played a part.
"You all got what y'all deserved And there's more coming So don't prepare," she allegedly messaged a Uvalde Leader News employee in April 2023.
"Don't report unless you want people to die faster..." she's accused of saying in a comment to a City of Uvalde Instagram posted in May.
"Imma kill more kids at the new school they're constructing," the documents say she told an Instagram user in June.
The messages are often accompanied with heart eyes, devil or laughing emojis. Some of them directly reference Pete Arredondo, the former Uvalde schools police chief who was fired after the Robb tragedy.

Making the connection
Authorities were able to connect Rodriguez-Morales to the Instagram account behind those recent threats by identifying the phone number associated with it. The user on the account also identified themselves as Victoria and Vicky on multiple occasions, documents say, and the FBI also found it connect to a separate account containing photos and videos of Rodriguez-Morales herself.
Further investigation connected the user on the accounts to Rodriguez-Morales through her university email address. Documents say the FBI conducted surveillance earlier this month confirming she was a student at the university.
The FBI obtained a warrant for Rodriguez-Morales's arrest on Nov. 22. She has a court appearance scheduled for Dec. 12, according to online records.
