As you may have heard, a border patrol agent was murdered on inauguration day in Vermont. This happened when a agents pulled over a car about 20 miles from the Canadian border for an immigration check and the people inside the car opened fire. Now we’re learning that the two people responsible for this attack may be connected to another murder suspect.
The woman who allegedly opened fire at U.S. border patrol agents in northern Vermont, leaving one agent dead, used a gun bought by someone who was a person of interest in a double murder in Pennsylvania, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The woman, Teresa Youngblut, was riding in a car with a German national, Felix Bauckholt, when border patrol agents pulled them over to conduct an immigration inspection on Jan. 20. At some point during the traffic stop, Youngblut fired at the agents, prompting at least one to shoot back, according to court documents.
One of the agents, David “Chris” Maland, 44, was killed in the exchange of gunfire. Bauckholt was fatally shot after he drew a gun, court documents say, and Youngblut was wounded.
Here’s what these stories are leaving out. Bauckholt was trans and went by “Ophelia” and Youngblut was non-binary and used xe pronouns.

Here’s more of what Ngo says in that tweet:
Federal law enforcement had been surveilling German man Felix “Ophelia” Baukholt and Seattle @UW student Teresa “Milo” Youngblut (xe/xem/xyrs) after staff at a Lyndonville, Vt. motel reported seeing them with black tactical clothing, weapons and protective militia-style equipment.
When the duo was pulled over on Jan. 20, Youngblut allegedly shot dead Officer David Maland in a surprise attack. In the returning fire, Baukholt, who was also armed, was killed. Youngblut was injured and survived.
So where did they get the guns used in this crime? From someone suspected in another murder.
According to the motion, the gun used by Youngblut and one that Bauckholt was carrying were purchased by a third person in Vermont last February. The buyer is a person of interest on a double homicide investigation in Pennsylvania, Drescher said.
And both Youngblut and the buyer “are acquainted with and have been in frequent contact with” someone who was detained during that investigation and who also is a person of interest in a homicide investigation in Vallejo, California, the motion said.
In fact, all of these murders may be connected to something called the “Ziz” group which appears to be some kind of trans commune.
Taylor, a 32-year-old woman in Berkeley, Calif., has met Baukholt repeatedly over the years and was the first person to confirm his identity as “Ophelia.” Bauckholt was known online among trans networks in the artificial intelligence fields.
“[Ophelia] may have been radicalized by some person or group,” Taylor speculates.
Taylor showed TPM written communications she had with Bauckholt in 2022 where he discussed being in contact with members of the “Ziz” group. The group was or is a Vallejo, Calif.-based violent trans commune centered around a cult of personality of leader, “Ziz,” whose real name is Jack Lasota.
The story here is that an elderly man in Vallejo decided to invite people to live on his property as some kind of artist’s community. They would live in trailers and have shipping containers to store their belongings/workspaces. Ziz/Jack Lasota and a small group moved in but soon stopped paying rent and became squatters. The owner got them to agree to leave once their vehicle was repaired but they reneged.
Eventually he planned to have them evicted by police. The group learned of this a couple days before it was supposed to happen and allegedly attempted to murder the landlord.
The incident happened on Sunday morning, November 13, and a tenant on the property at 3rd and Lemon streets in Vallejo said that the property owner, 80-year-old Curt Lind, was preparing to have the sheriff come evict several squatters within days. Neighbors had taken to calling them “The Cult,” and whether or not drugs were involved, people had seen at least four individuals wandering the property naked and acting strangely over many months.
Patrick McMillan lives in an RV on the property and told KTVU that Lind called the cops around 2:30 a.m. after the squatters began making news, throwing rocks, and trying to bang down Lind’s door. They had apparently found out about the coming eviction, and were upset. The cops never showed.
By around 7 a.m., things had escalated further, Lind apparently pulled out a gun, and either before or after he was stabbed through with a sword — McMillan said Lind came to his door with a sword sticking out of his back, with the tip coming out of his chest — Lind apparently fired on two of the squatters. One of them, a 31-year-old woman whose name has not yet been released by police, subsequently died from her injuries.
Curt Lind, the landlord, survived that attack but was murdered earlier this month.
A man stabbed to death earlier this month in Vallejo was a longtime property owner who was set to testify against a group of young tenants who allegedly stabbed him with a samurai sword a little over two years ago, according to court records and a friend of the victim.
The victim, identified as 82-year-old Curtis Lind by a GoFundMe page and his friend, Thomas Young, was stabbed in the neck around 2:30 p.m. Jan. 17 by an assailant wearing a mask and black beanie, according to the Vallejo Police Department. The fatal attack happened on the sidewalk outside Lind’s property on the 300 block of Lemon Street, where multiple trailers and other equipment sit crowded in a yard behind a locked gate.
It was not the first alleged attempt on Lind’s life. On November 13, 2022, he was injured during a violent dispute with tenants at his Lemon Street property, according to police and court records.
Of course we don’t know who committed the murder but it seems possible it wasn’t a random attack. Then there was another murder in Pennsylvania in January 2023 which may also be connected to this same group.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, the bodies of Richard Zajko, 72, and his wife, Rita, 69, were found inside of their home along Highland Drive in Chester Heights, Delaware County, on Jan. 2.
A document released by the troopers notes that the deaths have been ruled a homicide and — based on information gathered through “dozens of interviews” — law enforcement officials believe the murders were not a random act of violence.
According to this post on Medium, the couple had one child, Jamie Zajko, who was a friend of Ziz and who had written online at one point (since taken down) about Ziz demanding they murder someone else and provide proof by photo. The same post notes that Ziz frequently talked about wanting to murder various people.
They all may be part of what Andy Ngo is now calling a trans terror cell.
There appears to be a trans terror cell in the U.S. involved in serial killings. The Vermont @CBP U.S. Border Patrol officer shot dead on Inauguration Day was the fourth known victim.

This is just starting to get some national attention, albeit with no mention that most/all of the people involved were connected to a trans cult.
