A new report claims that police officials are conducting a manhunt for a 32-year-old suspected of purchasing the firearms used to kill a U.S. Border Patrol agent during a traffic stop in Vermont on January 20.
The Times Union reported that law enforcement agencies are searching for 32-year-old Michelle J. Zajko in connection with the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David “Chris” Maland near the northern border between Vermont and Canada. The outlet noted that Zajko is considered to be “armed and dangerous” and that Zajko is influenced by “anti-law enforcement ideology,” according to police records.
Court documents obtained by The Times Union revealed that law enforcement officials recovered a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun and a .380-caliber handgun from the scene of the fatal shooting in Vermont last week. The documents also showed that both of the firearms were purchased by Zajko in February of 2024.

According to The Times Union, a bulletin was issued last week to licensed gun dealers by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, asking gun dealers to notify the agency’s Vermont office if they had any information regarding the firearms that were purchased by Zajko.
Additionally, The Times Union reported that a police bulletin distributed last week indicated that Zajko is considered a “person of interest in a double homicide that occurred in Pennsylvania in 2023.”
The Post Millennial reported that Zajko is the third transgender suspect involved in the murder of the Border Patrol agent in Vermont. The outlet claimed that one of the firearms allegedly supplied by Zajko was used in last week’s shootout by 21-year-old Teresa Youngblut, who was arrested and has been accused of killing the Border Patrol agent. Law enforcement officials also discovered the other firearm linked to Zajko in the possession of German national Felix Bauckholt, who was killed during the incident.
Post Millennial editor Andy Ngo previously reported that both Youngblut and Bauckholt identified as transgender and were connected to the “Ziz” transgender “terror cell.”
In a Thursday post on X, formerly Twitter, Ngo shared pictures of the suspects involved in the murder of the Border Patrol agent, tweeting, “Police are on a manhunt for far-left trans terror cell member Michelle Jacqueline Zajko, who is considered armed and dangerous. Zajko, who is trans nonbinary, allegedly provided the guns the trans duo used in the shootout in Vermont that killed the Border Patrol agent.”
