As far as legal, let it go.
Block the bully, ignore the bully, live your life.

I assume this is someone you know and not just a random internet troll? If so, how do you know this person? School? If so, take screenshots to your administrator or guidance counselor. If work, do the same with HR/the manager. Have you told your parents? They need to know. If this is another kid, perhaps your parents can have a chat with their parents. It is also possible to file a police report and if the threats are credible, get a restraining order. You will need your parents' assistance for that as you are under 18.

If it is a RIT, block and report to FB.

As stated above, you should certainly speak to your parents. You may wish to report it to the police as well. Response will probably be quicker and evidence preserved. I mentioned the police because these are threats of violence by what seems to be a familiar person. The police station / precinct in the area should suffice to file a report.
