Overview
- Prosecutors say a man threatened to "kill all the Muslims and Jews" during an April encounter at Houston’s newly opened Ismaili Center.
- Investigators identified Jacolby Poindexter, 29, after a witness photographed a departing car and surveillance showed a silver Toyota entering and leaving the property.
- He was arrested on a felony terroristic threat charge, released on a $30,000 bond, and is scheduled for arraignment on June 30.
- Poindexter admitted visiting the site and said he was upset with Islamic people, though he denied making death threats in interviews with police and a reporter.
- Court records say the center increased security and reported disrupted operations after the incident at a venue that serves an estimated 35,000 to 40,000 Ismailis in Greater Houston.
