Kim had ties to social media groups such as the Communist Party USA, Revolutionary Communist International, hidden Palestine and Palestine Action, Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren said. He said that would be part of law enforcement’s investigation into the motive.

Video footage provided by the Metropolitan Police Department showed that around 2:45 a.m..

Fox News reporter Bill Melugin said, “Las Vegas Metro Police say a search of Tesla firebombing suspect Paul Kim’s social media shows him with potential communist and pro-Palestine affiliations. They say they have a DNA match and showed a video of him using a rifle to shoot out surveillance cameras before the attack.”
