Angelina Hicks, 18, was arrested in Davidson County, North Carolina, on Wednesday and has been charged with felony conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon, according to jail records. As of Thursday, Hicks was being held in the Davidson County Jail on a $10 million bond. <\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time there is no other known credible threat,\u201d HPD said in its statement.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, Hicks is accused of planning an attack against the Congregation Beth Israel on April 21, 2028. Court documents describe the alleged plot as a conspiracy \u201cto kill as many Jews as possible by driving through a congregation at a synagogue.” <\/p>\n

Hicks is also accused in court documents of having planned the attack with two other co-conspirators referred to as \u201cTeegan\u201d and \u201cAngel.\u201d The last names of alleged co-conspirators were not known as of Thursday, and it was not immediately clear if the juvenile charged in Harris County is one of the alleged co-conspirators mentioned in court documents. In a news release, the Davidson County Sheriff\u2019s Office said other alleged co-conspirators had been identified outside of North Carolina.<\/p>\n

The FBI Charlotte Field Office<\/a> in North Carolina said it began investigating Hicks on Tuesday after it received a tip that Hicks was \u201cbelieved to be targeting members of the Jewish community for [a] potential act of violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA fast-moving, multistate FBI investigation led to the arrests of one adult and one juvenile accused of planning an attack at a Jewish Day School in Houston, Texas,\u201d the Charlotte FBI office said in a statement. \u201cThe joint FBI multistate investigation is ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday afternoon, the Congregation Beth Israel \u2014 the oldest Jewish congregation in Texas \u2014 sent a statement to its members saying it had closed for the day based on the guidance of the Houston Police Department and would reopen on Thursday. The statement also said The Shlenker School \u2014 an elementary school associated with the congregation \u2014 was also closed.<\/p>\n

“We are grateful for local law enforcement and for the support of our local and national security partners throughout the day,” Rabbi David Lyon said in a statement. “We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and care for one another as we worked through this situation with diligence and thoughtfulness.”<\/p>\n

Hicks\u2019 defense attorney was not immediately available for comment Thursday.<\/p>\n
