A Minnesota career criminal with a long history of violent offenses is facing federal charges after allegedly posting a TikTok video offering a $45,000 bounty for the killing of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The bounty on AG Bondi’s head prompted an FBI investigation that spanned two states.
According to a newly filed federal affidavit, Tyler Maxon Avalos, 29, allegedly posted an image of Bondi with a red sniper-scope dot on her forehead and the caption:
“WANTED: Pam Bondi — REWARD: $45,000 — DEAD OR ALIVE (Preferably Dead).”
Beneath the image, Avalos reportedly added, “Cough cough. When they don’t serve us, then what?”
The post, flagged by a TikTok user in Detroit, triggered an interstate federal probe that led agents to an apartment complex in St. Paul, Minnesota, where Avalos was arrested Thursday.
While leftists have attempted to defend Avalos as joking or exercising free speech, authorities confirmed that Avalos was plotting a genuine “murder-for-hire” scheme.
FBI Traces Threat Through Digital Trail
Investigators say they traced the account “@liminalvoidslip” to Avalos through digital records obtained from TikTok, Google, and Comcast.
According to the affidavit, FBI agents identified him by linking IP logs, a Samsung device tied to his Google account, and subscriber data that matched his residence.
When agents arrived at the address, they confirmed Avalos’ name was listed on the apartment mailbox.
His TikTok profile reportedly included anarchist symbols and links to anti-government literature, including a reference to “An Anarchist FAQ book.”
The FBI affidavit states the threat appeared to be intentional.
Investigators described the threat as a “deliberate and interstate communication of violence,” rather than a joke or political exaggeration.
History of Violence Across Two States
Court records cited in the affidavit detail Avalos’ criminal history, which includes multiple convictions for stalking and domestic violence offenses in both Minnesota and Florida.
In July 2022, Avalos was convicted of felony stalking in Dakota County, Minnesota, after repeatedly contacting and harassing a victim.
In August 2016, he was convicted of third-degree felony domestic battery in Polk County, Florida, following an assault on a household or family member.
Earlier that year, in April 2016, he was charged with felony domestic assault by strangulation in Dakota County.
Avalos later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic assault after the charge was reduced.
The affidavit notes Avalos’ pattern of violence and erratic behavior.
The FBI found that his recent social media activity “suggested increasing hostility toward government institutions.”
Federal Charges and Ongoing Investigation
Federal prosecutors have charged Avalos with making interstate threats to kill or injure a federal official, a felony offense that carries a potential maximum sentence of five years in prison per count.
Authorities have not disclosed whether any weapons were found during his arrest.
However, court filings suggest the FBI is seeking further evidence from his electronic devices.
Bondi, who served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019 and now leads the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) under President Donald Trump, has not publicly commented on the case.
The DOJ confirmed in a statement that it is “coordinating closely with federal law enforcement” to ensure the safety of officials named in online threats.
