Murder charges have been filed against Elias Rodriguez, 30, from Chicago, for the shooting deaths of two Israeli embassy staff members outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. Rodriguez faces multiple charges, including murder of foreign officials and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, after allegedly opening fire on Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim while expressing pro-Palestinian sentiments. Previously employed as an administration specialist, Rodriguez has ties to the far-left group Party for Socialism and Liberation, although his association reportedly ended in 2017.
