根据联邦法院的记录,嫌疑人——20岁的丹尼尔·莫雷诺·伽马——据称是在首席执行官位于旧金山的住宅外被监控录像抓获的。
旧金山地方检察官布鲁克·詹金斯说,他因涉嫌预谋杀害奥特曼而被指控谋杀未遂。她说,他面临第二项谋杀未遂的指控,罪名是当时在奥特曼家中的保安。
詹金斯说,嫌疑人还被指控犯有与奥尔特曼住所和OpenAI总部事件有关的纵火和持有破坏性装置等多项罪行。
地方检察官说,如果被判有罪,他将面临19年到终身监禁。
此外,官员们周一表示,莫雷诺-伽马被指控犯有两项联邦罪——通过爆炸和持有未注册枪支的方式破坏和毁坏财产。
“我们正在开始调查,但如果证据显示莫雷诺-伽马先生实施这些袭击是为了改变公共政策或胁迫政府或其他官员,我们将把这视为国内恐怖主义行为,并与我们的合作伙伴一起,在法律的最大范围内起诉他,”加利福尼亚州北区的美国检察官克雷格·米萨基安(Craig Missakian)在简报中说。
旧金山警方表示,周五凌晨4点左右,嫌疑人涉嫌向奥尔特曼的房子“扔了一个燃烧的破坏性装置”,引发了一扇外门的火灾。警方称,无人受伤。
据警方称,大约一小时后,嫌疑人在OpenAI总部外被捕,据称他威胁要烧毁大楼。
旧金山警察局负责调查的副局长卢克·马丁(Luke Martin)在周一的新闻发布会上说,在奥尔特曼的住所,拘留该嫌犯的警察“立即认出他就是之前事件中的同一个人”。
根据法庭文件,据称背包里有煤油的莫雷诺-伽马被看到试图用椅子砸大楼的玻璃。
马丁说,他还涉嫌持有额外的燃烧装置和打火机。
联邦检察官表示,他们还发现了一份文件,据称莫雷诺-伽马在其中表达了反人工智能高管的情绪。
据称他有一份名单,上面列有人工智能公司和投资者的董事会成员和首席执行官。
“莫雷诺-GAMA声称他‘杀死/试图杀死’受害者-1,”法庭文件说。“莫雷诺-GAMA还写道,‘同样,如果我要倡导他人杀人和犯罪,那么我必须以身作则,表明我的信息是完全真诚的。’
嫌疑人目前被关押在旧金山县监狱。官员们说,预计他将于周二在州法院出庭。
警方称,在另一起事件中,有两人因涉嫌在周日早上向奥特曼的房子开枪而被捕。
旧金山警察局长德里克·卢(Derrick Lew)周一表示,目前没有证据表明燃烧瓶和枪击事件有关联。
Man charged with attempted murder after allegedly throwing Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's home
A Texas man who is accused of throwing a Molotov cocktailat OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's house and then attacking the company's San Francisco headquarters faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, officials announced on Monday.
The suspect -- 20-year-old Daniel Moreno-Gama -- was allegedly caught on video surveillance outside the CEO's home in San Francisco, according to federal court records.
He has been charged with attempted murder for the alleged premeditated plot to kill Altman, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said. He faces a second count of attempted murder for the security guard who was at Altman's home at the time, she said.
The suspect has also been charged with multiple counts related to arson and possession of a destructive device in connection with the incidents at Altman's residence and OpenAI's headquarters, Jenkins said.
He faces 19 years to life in prison if convicted of the state charges, the district attorney said.
Additionally, Moreno-Gama has been charged with two federal counts -- damage and destruction of property by means of explosives and possession of an unregistered firearm, officials said Monday.
"We are at the beginning of this investigation, but if the evidence shows that Mr. Moreno-Gama executed these attacks to change public policy or to coerce government or other officials, we will treat this as an act of domestic terrorism, and together with our partners, prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law," Craig Missakian, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California, said during the briefing.
Around 4 a.m. Friday, the suspect allegedly "threw an incendiary destructive device" at Altman's house, which sparked a fire on an exterior gate, San Francisco police said. No one was injured, police said.
The suspect was arrested about an hour later outside OpenAI's headquarters, where he was allegedly threatening to burn down the building, according to police.
The officers who took the subject into custody "immediately recognized him as the same individual from the earlier incident" at Altman's residence, Luke Martin, the deputy chief of investigations for the San Francisco Police Department, said during Monday's press briefing.
Moreno-Gama, who allegedly had kerosene in his backpack, was seen trying to hit the building's glass with a chair, according to court documents.
He was also allegedly in possession of additional incendiary devices and a lighter, Martin said.
Federal prosecutors said they also found a document in which Moreno-Gama allegedly expressed anti-AI-executive sentiments.
He allegedly had a list of names and addresses ofapparent board members and chief executive officers of AI companies and investors.
"MORENO-GAMA stated he 'killed /attempted to kill' Victim-1,” court documents said.“MORENO-GAMA also wrote, 'Also if I am going to advocate for others to kill and commit crimes, then I must lead by example and show that I am fully sincere in my message.'"
The suspect is currently in custody in the San Francisco County Jail. He is expected to appear in state court on Tuesday, officials said.
In a separate incident, two people have been arrested for allegedly firing shots at Altman's house on Sunday morning, police said.
At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that the Molotov cocktail and shooting incidents are related, San Francisco Police Chief Derrick Lew said Monday.
