Jameson Coldora
Jameson Coldora was born on october 20, 2001. Jameson was not known to have any mental health issues, and many of his friends and family members have said that there was nothing off about his behavior. Jameson had dropped out of high school after having to retake 12th grade for a 3rd time, and took up a job as a chipotle worker.
Jameson's co-workers said that he had been acting odd in the days leading up to the attack. Jameson had made many posts online, in which he talked about committing an attack against Robloxia, and about how he was "inspired by others". About a week leading up to the attack, Coldora purchased an AR-15 with multiple magazines, as well as the materials used to create the suicide vest.
The Attack
On May 3rd, 2024, Coldora drove a Ford 4x4 down Jerin street, in Irene, Missouri. He would park the truck near a crowd of people who were looking at a street performer. Coldora would put the vest on and exit his truck. He then ran up to the group of people and detonated the vest. Police and paramedics would arrive 3 minutes later, in which 8 people were pronounced dead, including Coldora. 3 more people would die at the hospital over the next 2 days. Police would also find the AR-15 and ammunition in Coldora's 4x4 during the investigation. The investigation concluded that the motive was likely notoriety and extremist beliefs.
