Nearly a year after a 21-year-old Miami man threatened to “kill everyone” attending a New Jersey high school’s junior prom, he has pleaded guilty to the crime and faces up to five years in prison.
Onil Compres Rodriguez changed his plea on Wednesday to guilty of one count of transmitting threats through interstate communications, court records showed. No plea agreement was given, and he was scheduled to appear before Senior U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno in Miami federal court for sentencing on June 25.
In a press release, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida said Compres Rodriguez admitted to sending threatening messages through social media in April 2024. He sent the direct messages to several accounts belonging to schools in New Jersey while he was in Miami-Dade County.
Some of them read: “I will kill everyone”; “They should never have hurt me”; “See you on May 2 at the junior prom. ... I will be charged for the damage they did to me”; “They don’t know who they messed with”; and “Wear your bulletproof vests there will be a lot of blood hahaha.”
He also included two pictures — one of an invitation to a New Jersey high-school prom on May 2, 2024, and the other of three guns and ammo.
The threats were reported, and while he was being investigated, authorities learned Compres Rodriguez booked a flight to Newark, New Jersey, from Miami International Airport on May 2. When he landed, he was promptly met by waiting law enforcement.
“They arrested Compres Rodriguez, who never made it to prom,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
