If you said "I'm gonna be the cause of you being next", that's a threat. "You're next" is not a threat. Also, next to what? Any good lawyer is gonna have a field day with this.
Contextually, it 100% is a threat. She preceded "You people are next" with the same message left behind by Mangione at the scene of the murder, a recent event that everybody involved in the conversation was aware of. Sure, if that statement existed in a vacuum, it'd be an open-and-shut case, but it was part of a larger conversation.
Also:
So yeah... she's gonna need a really good lawyer.
Still not a threat.
