Man Arrested at Lincoln Tunnel Indicted for Terroristic Threats
On Monday May 6, 2025, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg Jr. announced the indictment of Luis Ramirez, 23, of Kearns, Utah, for allegedly making terroristic threats to Central Synagogue, at Lexington Avenue and East 52nd Street, and the Jewish community at large in Manhattan.
Ramirez is charged in a New York State Supreme Court indictment with one count each of Making a Terroristic Threat as a Hate Crime, Making a Terroristic Threat, and Aggravated Threat of Mass Harm.
According to court documents and statements made on the record in court, on Feb. 13, 2025, Ramirez began publishing a series of posts regarding Jewish people on X, formerly Twitter, under his username @realramirezluis. Among the posts, Ramirez mentioned he would be visiting New York City the following day to go to Shabbat at the Central Synagogue at 6pm.
On Feb. 14, at approximately 12:39am, Ramirez allegedly threatened to kill Jewish people at Central Synagogue, writing, “The Jews killed me in my past life if you try to kill me again today in NYC when I pull up to Shabbat I will kill you first and condemn you to hell.” Ramirez also referred to himself as the reincarnation of Hitler, writing, “In past life, I went by the alias Adolf Hitler,” and posted that if Jewish people tried to kill him again he would “kill tenfold as many Jews as [he] did in WW2.”
A few hours later, at approximately, 5:30pm, Ramirez was arrested by members of the Port Authority and New Jersey police departments as he was driving toward the Lincoln Tunnel into Manhattan.
