Austin Tucker Martin, gunman shot dead by Secret Service at Mar-a-Lago, was obsessed with Epstein files: report
NY Post
The armed madman who was shot and killed by Secret Service after he snuck onto President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate Sunday was reportedly obsessed with the Epstein files — and implored others to “raise awareness” just days before the deadly encounter.
Austin Tucker Martin, 21, was gunned down by local Florida police and members of the Secret Service after he brandished his shotgun in a “shooting position” on Trump’s property, authorities said.
He was reported missing by his family after he vanished on Saturday. His mother, Melissa Martin, made a missing person poster for him, describing the silver Volkswagen he was likely driving.
Bizarre text messages Martin swapped with a coworker on Feb. 15, just one week before he apparently embarked on a one-way trip to Florida, were obtained by TMZ.
Martin, seemingly unprompted, shared his thoughts on the Epstein files with his coworker.
“I don’t know if you read up on the Epstein Files, but evil is real and unmistakable,” he wrote.
