Jack Lasoda, who identifies as a woman, Michelle Zico, and Daniel Blank, they face trespassing and handgun charges here in Maryland. All three were arrested Sunday in Frostburg. People who've interacted with them say they act like a cult. Consisting of mostly transgender tech workers who subscribe to what's called radical veganism.

Teresa and the young woman who bought her the guns were in frequent contact with a third person, who is a person of interest in another murder, this one in California.

Sure thing.

Sure thing.

Yeah, so what we know from the criminal complaint filed against Teresa Youngblood is that on January 14th, a hotel employee calls law enforcement to say that two people... wearing black tactical gear and masks have checked in, one of them has a, quote, apparent firearm in an exposed carry holster. That's Teresa. Then law enforcement begins to surveil them.

Days later, investigators are watching Teresa and the person with her, who we now know as Ophelia Bockholt. And they see Ophelia go into a Walmart while Teresa waits in the car. Ophelia comes out with aluminum foil and while sitting in the passenger seat, wraps objects in the foil. That's something people do to prevent their cell phones from being tracked by law enforcement.

three Border Patrol cars with lights on pull over the Prius. Teresa gets out of the car and stands by the driver's side door. And then, according to the federal prosecutors in Vermont, Teresa drew her Glock and fired at least twice. Ophelia tried to draw her weapon, but didn't fire. And at least one Border Patrol agent fired at least seven bullets.

One of those agents was shot and died at the hospital. Ophelia was shot and pronounced dead at the scene. And Teresa was also shot, but not killed.

We do not. At this point, Teresa is facing two counts. One is assault with a deadly weapon while resisting or interfering with federal law enforcement. And the other is a weapons charge.

They found quite a large collection of tactical gear. That included two full-face respirators, gas masks essentially, 48 rounds of hollow-point ammunition. They also found Youngblood's journal.

Not really. In a motion for detention that the federal prosecutor filed last week, the government says that she wrote in a cipher, a code. But they are using Teresa's associations to figure out what she and Ophelia may have been up to more than what was in her journal.
