Elias Rodriguez, a 30-year-old suspect from Chicago, has been charged with the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy aides, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Rodriguez, who was heard chanting “Free Palestine” after his arrest, faces multiple charges including first-degree murder and is under investigation for his political affiliations and a manifesto linked to the attack. The FBI has labeled the incident as targeted antisemitic violence, with a preliminary hearing set for June 18, and potential for the death penalty remains under consideration.
