Las Cruces Man, 26, Booked on Federal Transfer Following School Shooting Threats

Allegedly... Dion Lee Torres, 26, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 11, 2026. Registered under booking number 2600007277, he faces a felony charge listed as all other offenses. Records indicate he is currently held without bond following a federal transfer. According to news and court records, the arrest follows an investigation into social media threats made on TikTok. Investigators reportedly traced a threat to shoot up a school back to Torres, leading to his arrest by the FBI on firearm-related charges. The investigation involved multiple agencies tracking the digital origin of the specific threats targeting a local educational facility. The charges are allegations, and Torres is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
