Austin Schoemann<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A Kansas man pleaded guilty Wednesday of branding a firearm and using racial slurs to threaten two black juveniles on July 27, 2022, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Austin Schoemann was found guilty of <\/span>two counts of interference with federally protected activities, two counts of interstate threats, and one count of interference with housing, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

During a plea hearing, Schoemann, 30, of Wichita, admitted to threatening the juveniles as they entered a QuikTrip gasoline station and that he also used his firearm to threaten a black adult who intervened to support the juveniles, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis defendant committed serious hate crimes when he used guns and death threats to terrorize two black children and an adult who came to their aid,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Rights Division. \u201cThe defendant\u2019s hate-fueled crime spree continued when he made threats to a white woman and her family that he would shoot and kill any Black person visiting her home. Racially-motivated threats and violence, in any form, are unacceptable in our society. “<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FBI\u201cRacially based violence and threats of violence should never be tolerated. This reprehensible behavior is illegal and subject to federal criminal prosecution,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Kate E. Brubacher for the District of Kansas. \u201cThe Justice Department will defend civil rights and prosecute anyone who harasses and threatens people based on their race.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no place for race-based violence in the state of Kansas,\u201d said Special Agent in Charge Stephen Cyrus of the FBI Kansas City Field Office. \u201cEvery individual is entitled to the fundamental right to live their lives without fear and intimidation based solely on their race. “<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Schoemann also acknowledged that beginning in January 2022 and continuing through August 2022, he interfered with the federally protected housing rights of a white woman by making threats to hurt or kill any black people who visited her home. <\/span><\/p>\n

Schoemann further admitted that he sent videos and messages to the woman\u2019s family members and others in which he repeatedly threatened to shoot and kill black people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 16. Under the terms of his plea agreement, Schoemann faces a penalty of 63 to 84 months in prison.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI’s Kansas City Field Office and Wichita Police investigated the case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Smith for the District of Kansas and Trial Attorney Thomas Johnson of the Civil Rights Division are prosecuting the case.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
