In recording, Solomon Henderson attributed killing at Nashville’s Antioch High School to Maniac Murder Cult and 764. The killer behind the January 2025 shooting at Nashville’s Antioch High School appears to have had “handlers” associated with violent extremist groups who were egging him on, an exclusive NewsChannel 5 investigation has discovered. Solomon Henderson, 17, left behind a recording in which he attributed the deadly school shooting to Maniac Murder Cult and 764, investigators say. Both groups target children online around the globe, leaving behind a trail of victims. Antioch High School student Dayana Escalante, 16, became one of those victims. “Once we saw how many chat rooms he was involved in, how many social media platforms he had, the lengths he went to cover it up, we realized it was a lot bigger than we could ever imagine,” said Metro Police Capt. Chris Dickerson. (…) Solomon Henderson, they believe, had become ensnared in a dark web known as “nihilistic violent extremism,” a network of various groups, some with neo-Nazi connections. Among those groups are ones like the Maniacs Murder Cult, Order of Nine Angles and No Lives Matter. They target kids in online spaces – some as young as elementary school – hoping to get control of their minds and make them do their bidding. “Teaching them to hate themselves to hurt themselves, using some of those early actions to blackmail them into hurting other people in some cases,” Cooter continued. In his manifesto, Henderson thanked the people he called “my handlers.” He added, “You helped me along with my journey through the process of HATE. You taught me how to hate, and it will change the world.”
