A 26-year-old San Antonio man faces felony charges after authorities say he made online threats to bomb a Turning Point USA event and kill its CEO Erika Kirk, prompting an arrest days before the conservative organization's Women's Leadership Summit.

Jacob Wenske was taken into custody early Thursday on two counts of making a terroristic threat causing public fear of serious bodily injury, a third-degree felony. Each charge carries a potential penalty of up to 10 years in prison. He remained in custody with a $120,000 bond as of late May.

According to court documents obtained by local investigators, Wenske allegedly posted threats in response to a public social media announcement about the upcoming summit. One comment reportedly stated, "I know exactly where to bomb."

An email account linked to Wenske also sent a message to Turning Point USA stating, "Death to Erika Kirk and every single speaker there!!" according to the arrest affidavit. Additional posts referenced acting as a "valet for her escort" and driving "Charlie Kirk's scum wife straight to the grave."

Background on the targeted event

The Turning Point USA Women's Leadership Summit is scheduled for June 5-7 at the Marriott Rivercenter on the San Antonio River Walk. Kirk, 37, widow of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, is set to appear as a featured speaker. The organization has not commented publicly on security adjustments but has indicated it takes such threats seriously.
