Woman, Victoria Gabriela Rodriguez-Morales, Claiming To Be The Girlfriend of The Uvalde School Shooter Faces Decades in Prison For Making Threats

A woman who has long claimed she is the girlfriend of the deceased Robb Elementary school shooter has been jailed in Puerto Rico and now faces a bevy of federal charges alleging she threatened to kill officials, citizens, teachers and facilities in Uvalde, Texas, for years and as recently as last month.

Victoria Gabriela Rodriguez-Morales, 19, was arrested on Wednesday in Puerto Rico after being indicted by a grand jury on 13 counts for making interstate threats.

Prosecutors say Rodriguez-Morales has a history of making threats, dating back to 2018 when she still lived in Uvalde. She admitted to sending threats to kill people, kill public officials, shoot schools and kill teachers and students, and was placed on juvenile supervision.

Despite moving to Puerto Rico in 2020, Rodriguez-Morales continued to make threats, using her own mother’s cell phone to repeatedly call and threaten the Uvalde Police, people and staff at Uvalde High School, including the school’s human resources department specifically, the Morales Junior High School, members of the Texas Public Safety Department, the Texas Rangers for Uvalde, and the Uvalde Fire Department. She also sent vulgar emails.

After the May 24, 2022 school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, the FBI began tracing threatening calls received by Uvalde school officials and others. They traced them back to Puerto Rico. The FBI alleges it was a juvenile Rodriguez-Morales making the calls at the time. When she turned 18 in August 2022, the harassing messages kept up.

Morales-Rodriguez continued to make threats throughout 2023, vowing that there were more attacks to come, leaving comments on news pages tagging police officials and discussing how she and the Robb Elementary school shooter were supposed to “commit that massacre together.”

She also left comments under public posts on Instagram created by the City of Uvalde, stating that the children who perished at the school that day deserved to die.

Morales-Rodriguez threatened others this June, vowing that any “new school in construction” in Uvalde would be “blowed up by C4.”

Students at Morales Junior High School and at Uvalde High School also appeared to receive threats including messages that vowed to kill incoming freshmen.

Then, this October, the FBI says it found comments Morales-Rodriguez left all over the game streaming site Kick vowing to attack Uvalde High School as well as Texas A&M. And roughly a week before a mayoral election this November in Texas where candidate Kmberly Mata-Rubio was running, mother of Robb Elementary student Lexi Mata-Rubio, the FBI says it was Morales-Rodriguez who sent an email to the Uvalde school district promising: “If Mata Rubio wins the elections I will kill her.”

Prosecutors allege the young woman used a number of email accounts or handles to traffic her threats. That included email addresses such as “schoolshooter893@gmail.”

A Texas news outlet, KSAT, reported this week that when she was undergoing juvenile legal proceedings in Texas years ago, the young woman was diagnosed with “opposition defiant disorder and intermittent explosive disorder.”

For now, authorities want to keep Morales-Rodriguez detained pending trial because they consider her a flight risk.
