Here's the criminal complaint from the FBI:

As noted above, SFPD officers recovered a document from MORENOGAMA. MORENO-GAMA appears to have sent a similar version of the document via email to individuals at his former college in Texas on April 10, 2026. The document was a threepart series that MORENO-GAMA apparently authored, which identified views opposed to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the executives of various AI companies, including Victim-1.

  1. The first part of the document was titled “Your Last Warning” followed by “Daniel Moreno-Gama.” In this part of the document, MORENO-GAMA stated he “killed /attempted to kill” Victim-1. MORENO-GAMA also wrote, “Also if I am going to advocate for others to kill and commit crimes, then I must lead by example and show that I am fully sincere in my message.” MORENO-GAMA further listed the names and addresses of apparent board members and chief executive officers of AI companies and investors.
  1. The second part of the document was titled “Some more words on the matter of our impending extinction.” In this part, MORENO-GAMA discussed the purported risk AI poses to humanity.
  1. The third part of the document was a letter to Victim-1 addressed as: “To [Victim-1’s name] if you make it” in which MORENO-GAMA states “If by some miracle you live, then I would take this as a sign from the divine to redeem yourself…”
