Skyler AJ Rose, 22, of Ogden, Utah, was indicted by a federal grand jury Oct. 21 following online threats against a synagogue in December 2025. According to court documents, Rose allegedly posted multiple threats, including a statement that he wanted to blow up a synagogue. Investigators traced the posts to his residence.
FBI agents and Ogden police searched Rose’s home, recovering six improvised explosive pipe bombs, one inert device, explosive-making materials, two rifles and ammunition. A subsequent search of his cellphone revealed an internet search for a nearby synagogue in November 2025, along with alleged evidence of child sexual abuse material.
Rose faces federal charges, including attempted hate crime, possession of an unregistered destructive device, and threats to kill or injure people and destroy a building using explosives. His initial federal court appearance was scheduled for Oct. 23 in Salt Lake City. The charges are allegations, and Rose is presumed innocent.
