“Ryan Naumenko has a criminal history, a history of abuse, and a documented history of dishonesty. As a journalist, you should know that background is important when evaluating his credibility and motivations as your source,” Fazal said in an email last week.
On Wednesday, Naumenko threatened revenge for the home invasion on Instagram.
“I know those who are reading this are reading this – we will find you. God willing, we will.”
“Don’t f—g stinky skunks run into my parents’ house and create terror and fear and get no results? I’m not afraid of jail like these bitches. It’s on.”
In an updated post, he offered a reward to anyone who could identify the trio and order the attack.
This is the second known incident of Naumenko being targeted at his home.
In October 2024, two masked men parked outside the property were spotted by a neighbor who called police. The attackers escaped after destroying both escape vehicles.
In a post on social media platform Substack in July of this year, Naumenko claimed he was nearly killed for his content, prompting him to professionalize Outlaw Media.
“A brush with semi-automatic pistols with a hit team changed everything. This was the wake-up call I needed to shift gears, turn this hobby into a legitimate, profitable outlet for raw, unfiltered crime news,” he said.
It is not suggested that Fazal had anything to do with the home invasion in Mildura.
