A threatening voicemail sent to a person in Sacramento has Black advocates warning others in the community to remain vigilant and wary.The Black Lives Matter Sacramento chapter on Sunday released a screen recording of the voicemail, which encourages harm to Black children and referenced violence toward schools in Sacramento. The audio stated, “In California, agendas are active to murder Black children in the Sacramento area. Murders are to be in cold blood with no remorse. The intel relay has contacted more than 100 schools in the Sacramento area to structure this agenda.”According to BLM Sacramento, the voicemail was left for the phone number for the Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. The founder of the museum then sent a copy of the voicemail to BLM so that it could make it public.”The call was very shocking and disturbing,” said Shonna McDaniels, founder of the Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum in a statement to KCRA 3. “I couldn’t believe someone would leave a voicemail on our phone talking about harming Black children. At first, I thought it was maybe a prank but in the world we live in today, I take all threats seriously. I wish in 2023 folks would get over all the hatred and do some soul-searching to have peace for humanity. I’m sending a message for parents and community members to be on alert to take this message seriously.”The Sacramento Police Department told KCRA 3 it is aware of the voicemail and that detectives are looking into the threats. Police said Monday that “preliminarily” they did not believe the threats to be credible. While the investigation plays out, BLM Sacramento founder Tanya Faison said that the community needs to stay vigilant.”We don’t know how valid it is or if it’s actually going to happen, but we do know that we shouldn’t sleep on it. We shouldn’t act like it’s not going to happen, and we should definitely secure ourselves as much as possible,” Faison said. “Schools need to stay on their toes and make sure that our kids are protected.”KCRA 3 reached out to several school districts across the Sacramento region to see if they had heard of any of these messages.A Sacramento City Unified School District representative said its Safe Schools Department had not received a complaint about a voicemail, though schools are closed for the summer. The San Juan School District said it also did not directly receive the voicemail. Anyone with information is asked to call the police department’s non-emergency line at 916-808-5471.
