Man threatened to put Miami students ‘in caskets,’ school officials say

A 19-year-old man was arrested Monday after school officials say he posted a threat against William H. Turner Technical Arts High School on Instagram.

Miami-Dade Schools Police arrested Kenly Serge Dorvil and charged him with a felony count of written threat to kill or do bodily harm. Police were made aware of the threat Sunday night and worked 15 hours to find the person who posted the threat, according to school district spokeswoman Daisy Gonzalez-Diego. She said Dorvil is not a student at the school.

“You Turner Tech Jits Bout To Be In Caskets,” the post read. A photo of the post was also shared on Twitter.

The school, 10151 NW 19th Avenue near West Little River, had extra security Monday morning, Gonzalez-Diego said.
