Who is Adrian Paul Aispuro?

Adrian Paul Aispuro is 44 years old. He has been identified as the suspect. He is currently being held in custody in Los Angeles on a felony charge of concealing a weapon after posting $35,000 bail.

The Kennedy’s campaign in a statement said, “The security imposter, who was wearing sunglasses, appeared to have laid his plans in advance, as he was carrying what appeared to be a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard and beltclip federal ID. The Kennedy campaign is seeking additional information from law enforcement authorities.”

Shortly after the event, Kennedy addressed the issue on social media, explaining that the man had tried to approach him as he was speaking to the crowd at the Wilshire Ebell Theater.

In a tweet, he said, “The man, wearing two shoulder holsters with loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines was carrying a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard and beltclip federal ID. He identified himself as a member of my security detail.”

The 44-year-old person named by the LAPD is Adrian Paul Aispuro, and they have something in common with a TikTok video that was uploaded in late July. Aispuro is seen in the video sporting a look that is identical to the one Kennedy provided in a photo of the man detained at his event. Notably, they both wear sunglasses, shoulder holsters, and comparable facial hair. They also have the same eye-catching hand tattoo, which is the word “FREE” written in Gothic script.
