Las Vegas teen who plotted to 'kill all normies' may dodge jail completely under a new deal

By LAUREN ACTON-TAYLOR, US NEWS REPORTER Published: 03:21, 29 May 2026 | Updated: 03:21, 29 May 2026 A Las Vegas teenager who plotted a mass shooting to 'kill all normies' may dodge jail completely following negotiations.  Vincent Llamas, 18, may receive probation for plotting to open fire on a Nevada library or school after he was ordered to set up inpatient mental health treatment before his sentencing.  District Judge Mary Kay Holthus said on Wednesday that Llamas had complied with the conditions of his plea deal, negotiated by Chief Deputy District Attorney Eckley Keach and defense attorney Frank Coumou.  Llamas, who has been out of custody on electronic monitoring for months, is expected to appear back in court on June 10, the Las Vegas Journal-Review reported.  'Keep doing what you're doing for now,' the judge told the teen. 'We're trying to figure it out to keep you in line with the deal.' Llamas reached a deal in March after pleading guilty to threatening to cause bodily harm or death to a pupil or school employee, conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon and battery constituting domestic violence, the outlet reported.  The deal requires the teen to give up all weapons, avoid 3D printers and staying away from his school, the College of Southern Nevada High School.   The teenager was arrested on February 10 after family members discovered disturbing journal entries in a notebook, including writings about wanting to attack a library during a kids' club.  Vincent Llamas, 18, may receive probation for plotting to open fire on a Nevada library or school after he was ordered to set up inpatient mental health treatment before his sentencing Other diary entries saw Llamas described wanting to kill his family and shoot up his high school, the College of Southern Nevada High School According to the Review-Journal, the entries named eight targets and read, 'I'm doing it today, the massacre.' Llamas had also bought several weapons on Amazon, including a crossbow, an axe and a hunting knife, as well as a tactical vest, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.  A cousin said in a police report previously obtained by the outlet: 'Vincent has spoken about carrying out a school shooting and empathizes with those who perpetrate them, believing them to be like himself. 'He's expressed homicidal ideations and plans to carry out a mass attack.' Llamas allegedly told police that he was jealous of school shooters and how they become remembered by society after they carry out their horrific acts of violence, according to the report.  The teen also said he had previously self-identified as an incel, an online community of typically young men who believe they are involuntarily celibate and usually express deep resentment toward women.  Other diary entries saw Llamas described wanting to kill his family and shoot up his high school, the outlet reported.  The teen attempted to buy a firearm but was turned away after lacking proper identification, and instead planned to 3D-print a gun.  Llamas reached a deal in March after pleading guilty to threatening to cause bodily harm or death to a pupil or school employee, conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon and battery constituting domestic violence  On December 22, he had written a 'final statement' which said: 'I know I'm a nobody and I don’t belong anywhere and I’m doomed to be a loser, that’s why I’m going to get revenge on all the normies who outcasted and mocked me my whole life and inspire other future shooters. I don’t belong among any normie group; I belong among the top 10 deadliest school shooters.' Other entries described plots to build a bomb and detailed a hand-drawn map of his school from memory, according to the outlet.  As part of his guilty plea deal, the teen agreed to undergo a risk assessment to evaluate any previous violence, access to weapons and untreated mental illness.  His evaluation determined that Llamas, who grew up without a father, had watched his mother die from cancer and the teen had blamed himself.  It also saw that he had been bullied, mocked and physically assaulted by peers, including calling him a 'school shooter,' the Review-Journal reported.  Court records obtained by the outlet saw Llamas had been diagnosed with depression and anxiety as well as having experienced suicidal ideations and emotional distress dating back to his years in middle school. Psychologists John Nicoletti and Jessica Garner recommended Llamas undergo treatment for his 'emotional dysregulation, grievance-based thinking, intrusive though patterns and identity-related distress.' These factors are believed to be primary factors leading to his behavior, Nicoletti and Garner believe, according to the outlet.  Other journal entries from Llamas described plots to build a bomb and detailed a hand-drawn map of his school from memory Llamas allegedly told police that he was jealous of school shooters and how they become remembered by society after they carry out their horrific acts of violence 'While Mr Llamas did not complete an attack, he crossed several critical behavioral thresholds, placing him in a late-stage, pre-incident position prior to interruption,' a report from the psychologists said.  'In the process of moving through the pathway of violence, there are notable behaviors of concern, or warning behaviors. The data indicates the presence of multiple highly concerning warning behaviors.' Coumou, Llamas's attorney, previously said: 'Sometimes people get mad and spout out something, but that does not mean they are ready to commit their lives to al-Qaida or something. 'We are dealing with a young man who may need some additional medical help. I'm not sure that the criminal justice system is the place for that.'  The Daily Mail reached out to Coumou, Keach and the College of Southern Nevada High School for comment.   No comments have so far been submitted.
