The Alleged Plot Against Kendall Jenner
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Jenner said that an LAPD detective informed her of Malik Bowker’s alleged plan on Thursday, March 25, 2021. ‘The Kardashians‘ star claimed that the 24-year-old was planning to purchase an illegal firearm to kill her and then himself. She added that she was told by police that Bowker had traveled cross-country to murder her.
Jenner had never met Bowker before, but his alleged threats were causing her emotional distress and anxiety. She was worried that he might find her and harm her after his release from the hospital. The judge granted her request and ordered that Bowker must stay 100 yards away from her at all times.

Stalking Incident And Security Measures
The Malik Bowker incident was not the first time that Jenner faced a security scare at her home. Just a few days before she learned of Bowker’s alleged plot, she had another disturbing encounter with a trespasser. According to TMZ‘s police sources, a 27-year-old man entered the star’s home and started to knock on all the windows while yelling her name. He then proceeded to take his clothes off with a plan to swim in her pool.
Jenner had to be moved to a safe location while her security team tracked down the intruder, who was arrested for misdemeanor trespassing. He only spent six hours in jail due to Covid-19 protocols. Jenner reportedly increased her security measures after the incident and considered moving out of her home.
