What happened to death threats?

Were arrested in connection with threats to murder against the city council's candidate?

Palm Desert – Who could forget the election of the city council of November 5, 2024, who was challenged with murder threats, the accusation of a council member who strikes another, and more? It was one of the worst races in this city recently.

The death threats were sent to the then mayor Karina Quintanilla in the town hall. As a result, it received increased security,

The notes came a few days after Quintanilla used her personal social media account to criticize a republican shop on El Paseo, the city's kilometer-long shopping street, which is known as Rodeo Drive on the desert.

The notes were handed over to the Riverside County's sheriff. “The examination has not yet been completed and will continue until all leads are exhausted or the suspect is identified and taken into custody”, \ t. Deirdre Vickers, public information officer, announced the Uken report at that time. “The election status does not determine the process of the investigation.”

Arrests have never been made. Fingerprints were sent to the Ministry of Justice for analysis.

“Our investigation by the mayor is” suspended “until we receive further information,” Sheriff Chad Bianco told Uken Report this week. “Fingerprints have not revealed a match. If we find someone responsible, they will be arrested and persecuted. Rumors about nothing happens because it is a supporter, BS! Every true supporter of me would never do something so stupid.”

Quintanilla did not answer a request for comment.

Although rare in the desert, more than 40% of the state legislators surveyed stated that they were threatened or attacked in the past three years. Almost 90% stated that less severe abuse suffered, including harassment, intimidation and stalking. Almost 40% of local officials, including 50% of women, stated that the persistent harassment made them less willing to run for re -election or to look for a higher position. This balance sheet includes many state and local election officers who wore the main burden of the trouble of Donald Trump's subsequent support in 2020, who mistakenly accused them of manipulating this breed and then hiding many outside of the office. The resulting sales means that, according to the Brennan Center, more than 1 out of 5 election administrators will do the job for the first time in 2024.
