An Arizona man allegedly tried to spark a race war before the 2024 elections by mass shooting at a Bad bunny concert…that’s what the FBI, who stopped it, claim.
A new charge concerns a 58-year-old Mark Adams Prieto — who is white — hatched his plan in mid-May to shoot black people and other minorities at a hip-hop show in Atlanta… and based on the dates the FBI cites in their just-released indictment, this matches B.B. .
The FBI says they learned of Prieto’s alleged gruesome intentions through a confidential informant and sent an undercover agent to get close to him during their investigation.
The FBI alleges that Prieto recruited the informant and FBI agent to help him carry out his attack because he believed they knew of his racist views about blacks, Jews and Muslims. The FBI specified in the court documents that Prieto wanted to spark a “race war ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.”
Prieto, the FBI alleges, spoke openly about specific details of the alleged planned attack, even going so far as to sell a pair of guns to one of his two “confidantes.” They even attached photos.
The claim that he told informants that he chose Atlanta because Georgia used to be a conservative state, but that the state has been “ruined” in recent years by African Americans who have migrated there from other crime-ridden parts of the country .
Prieto reportedly said he chose the Bad Bunny concert because of the high concentration of black people who would be in attendance. He also reportedly said he would leave the Confederate flags behind afterward while shouting “whites out here killers” and “KKK all the way.”
The FBI says they finally arrested Prieto on May 14 – the day of the Bad Bunny show at State Farm Arena – by pulling over the suspect as he drove through New Mexico. FBI agents say they recovered seven firearms from Prieto when they arrested him.

A grand jury handed down the indictment as prosecutors charged Prieto with trafficking in firearms, transfer of a firearm for use in a hate crime and possession of an unregistered firearm. Fortunately, the so-called planned shooting never came to fruition.
