After restraining Mbwavi, a security team member observed that Mbwavi’s phone was opened to the Notes app, and the note said, “Kill Jared Darby in downstairs restroom with bag.”

The note also reportedly listed the make, model, and license plate number of Darby’s car. 

While he was being restrained, Mbwavi allegedly shouted that he intended to kill Darby, whom Mbwavi called “a fake prophet.” Mbwavi allegedly then referred to himself as “a prophet called Warlock.”

Mbwavi remains in custody at the Harris County Jail on a $250,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 5.
