The troubled, racist son of trans Nazi-loving Rhode Island killer Robert Dorgan was jailed last year for setting a series of fires at a predominantly black church, according to a report.
Kevin Colantonio, one of six children Dorgan had with three different women, is serving a nearly seven-year sentence in a Texas federal prison for using gasoline and a lighter to spark five fires outside Shiloh Gospel Temple Ministries in North Providence in February 2024, WPRI reported.
The church — which the deranged arsonist labeled as a place of worship for “Atheist God mockers” in a text to his family after the blaze — serves a mostly black congregation of 100 and was empty when the flames erupted.
Police also discovered disturbing notebooks in the 37-year-old’s home filled with racist rhetoric, including an entry that read: “Gun everyone down that isn’t white, if one is white spread the gospel. Always give our bloodline a chance,” the outlet reported.
He was sentenced in June to 78 months and is behind bars at the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth.
Locals close to the family told the outlet that Dorgan — who murdered his ex-wife and 23-year-old son, and critically wounded three others when he opened fire during a high school hockey game at a Pawtucket ice rink Monday afternoon — influenced Colantonio’s twisted obsession with race.
The gunman, who went by Roberta after undergoing gender reassignment surgery in 2020, had vile neo-Nazi tattoos on his bicep and a history of spewing antisemitic and racist filth on social media.
The day before his rampage at the hockey rink, Dorgan posted an anti-Asian slur as he replied to a video praising Adolf Hitler, saying, “Really nice but a c—k made that song.”
In other posts, he made repeated references to “white power” and “white pride world wide.”
Colantonio was the half-brother of Aidan Dorgan, who was shot dead during their father’s killing spree.
The killer’s motive is still unknown, but police said he clearly harbored a deadly grudge against his family.
Colantonio is set to get out of prison in December 2029, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
