A grand jury indictment added Henry David MacKeen-Shapiro, Aaron Hunter Vonbargen, Joseph Mark Fisher, and Srishti Tarana Sharma to the University of Michigan intimidation case.

A superseding indictment, which the Free Press printed, and a Friday announcement of four more names, which FOX 2 printed, are two descriptions of one charging event. The June 10 release's maximums are five years on a threat-conspiracy count and 20 years on the witness count. Friday's stories did not print a new penalty for the four new names. An arraignment those stories said was expected Friday is not a plea.

FOX 2 Detroit, by Jack Nissen, published Oct. 30, 2026, at 1:37 p.m. EDT, reported that the Justice Department announced Friday it had indicted four more people after eight were charged in federal court over the summer. It named Henry David MacKeen-Shapiro, 23, Aaron Hunter Vonbargen, 25, Joseph Mark Fisher, 23, and Srishti Tarana Sharma, 23. It reported MacKeen-Shapiro and Vonbargen had been arrested and were expected to be arraigned in federal court on Friday, and that Fisher and Sharma were not in custody. A brief at the top of that story said two of the newly indicted defendants were in custody and two others were missing. Not in custody, and missing, are not the same word. The Detroit Free Press reported that a superseding indictment unsealed Friday, Oct. 30, added those four, at those ages, to a case filed in June against eight others. It reported federal agents arrested MacKeen-Shapiro and Vonbargen this week and that they were expected to be arraigned in federal court in Detroit on Friday, and that Fisher and Sharma remained at large. At large, which the Free Press printed, and not in custody, which FOX 2's body printed, are not the same phrase. Expected to be arraigned is not a report that the arraignment was held. FOX 2 said the federal government has obtained indictments against 12 individuals. Four names added to eight, which is the Free Press's arithmetic, is also 12. Indictments, plural, and one superseding indictment are not the same description of the filing. The Free Press reported that none of the four new defendants could be reached for comment and that no attorneys of record were listed yet in the court file. FOX 2 did not print that.

The Free Press quoted U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon: "These alleged attempts to terrorize our Jewish community and government officials are nothing new." It quoted him continuing, "From Pharaoh to Hitler to Hamas, those who terrorize Jews have been the bad guys. As Americans, our job is to fight the bad guys." FOX 2 did not print those sentences. FOX 2 reported that those named in the latest indictment are accused of attempting to terrorize the Jewish community and government officials, which it attributed to the U.S. Attorney in a news release. Friday's stories printed the name Jerome Gorgon. A June 10, 2026 release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan printed Jerome F. Gorgon Jr. The middle initial and the suffix are not in the Friday renderings. FOX 2 quoted Jennifer Runyan, special agent in charge of the FBI Detroit Field Office: "Those who believe they can threaten families, hide behind a group, and avoid accountability should think again. Justice will find you." It quoted her next: "These additional charges reflect the continued work of FBI Detroit and the many local, state, and federal agencies supporting this investigation." The June 10 release quotes a different Runyan statement, about masked and hooded defendants and a multi-state operation. Friday's quotation and the June quotation are not the same remarks.

What the office says the conspiracy did is not one paragraph. FOX 2, citing the U.S. Attorney's Office, reported that the criminal activity included spray painting threats, breaking windows, and throwing glass jars filled with noxious chemicals into family homes, and that conspirators marked homes and workplaces with symbols associated with Hamas, including red handprints and red inverted triangles, which that sentence called a symbol used by Hamas to mark targets for death. It reported the attacks were then shared on social media with warnings of additional threats. It listed the Jewish Federation of Detroit, two University of Michigan regents and other university leadership, a university police lieutenant, a university student, and two businesses with perceived ties to Israel. It reported that, after the Hamas attacks in Israel in 2023 and the military campaign in Gaza, the defendants sought to intimidate the university and other companies into severing their affiliation with Israel, which it attributed to the Justice Department. FOX 2 also reported that in June 2026 the eight were charged after FBI raids in Ypsilanti. The June 10 release lists Ypsilanti police among the assisting agencies and does not, in the text used here, say the raids were in Ypsilanti. The June 10 release calls the organization the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit. Detroit, and Metropolitan Detroit, are not the same name. That release says that after Oct. 7, 2023, the defendants and unindicted conspirators threatened university leaders, law enforcement, and businesses, and that the indictment describes spray-painted messages, broken windows, and glass jars filled with butyric acid and dye. Butyric acid and dye, in the June release, and noxious chemicals, in Friday's FOX 2 account, are not the same description of the jars. The June release says inverted triangles were used by Hamas in military videos to mark targets for death, and it gives the red handprints a separate meaning, tied to the Ramallah lynching of 2000. Friday's sentence, as FOX 2 printed it, places the death-mark clause after both symbols.

The June 10 release names eight defendants: Zainab Aliasgar Hakim, 23, of Canton, Michigan; Amatullah Aliasgar Hakim, 21, of Ann Arbor, Michigan; Paige Elizabeth Feyock, 26, of Ann Arbor, Michigan; Ahmet Kerem Korkaya, 28, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Jonathan Hongru Zou, 22, of Ann Arbor, Michigan; Alexander Matthew Sepulveda, 23, of Chicago, Illinois; Mariam Muhammed Odeh, 24, of Dearborn, Michigan; and Colin Hunter Weger, 24, of Ann Arbor, Michigan. FOX 2's Friday list of those eight uses the same ages and the same cities, and it prints Ahmet Kerem Korkaya with a space. The Free Press printed Ahmetkerem Korkaya as one word and did not print cities or ages for the eight. Ahmet Kerem and Ahmetkerem are not the same spelling. The June 10 release says the penalties, upon conviction, are up to five years and a $250,000 fine for conspiracy to transmit a threat, up to 20 years and a $250,000 fine for conspiracy to tamper with a witness, and up to five years and a $250,000 fine for destruction of property to prevent seizure. In the narrative it calls the 20-year count witness intimidation and names Zainab Aliasgar Hakim and Paige Elizabeth Feyock. It names Sepulveda on the destruction count. The Free Press said most of the charges are felonies with maximums of up to five years and $250,000, and that two defendants, Hakim and Feyock, face witness intimidation with a maximum of 20 years. It did not print which Hakim. The June release names Zainab Aliasgar Hakim on that count, not Amatullah Aliasgar Hakim. Friday's FOX 2 story did not print those maximums and did not say the four new defendants are on the witness count. The Free Press also reported that MacKeen-Shapiro was one of seven protesters charged in 2024 in state court with criminal trespassing and resisting police over an encampment on the Diag, and that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel dropped those charges after the case lingered for months in Washtenaw County district court. It reported that Hakim and MacKeen-Shapiro were among eight protesters who sued the university in May 2025, claiming the school fired them because they engaged in protests, and it did not say which Hakim. A dropped 2024 state case, and a May 2025 lawsuit, are not Friday's indictment. The Friday charges are accusations. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
