Who is Elias Rodriguez, who murdered two Israelis in Washington DC?

  • Two Israeli embassy employees, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were fatally shot outside a humanitarian aid gathering held at the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday evening.
  • The shooting took place after Elias Rodriguez, a 30-year-old from Chicago, moved toward the group and began firing, having been seen pacing outside the museum prior to the incident.
  • The couple, who were preparing to get engaged with Lischinsky having bought a ring to propose next week in Jerusalem, were leaving the event when the gunman fired.
  • After his arrest, Rodriguez shouted 'free, free Palestine,' and Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith confirmed he was detained by event security inside the museum.
  • The Israeli Embassy expressed deep grief calling the victims 'friends and colleagues in the prime of their lives,' while officials aim to prosecute Rodriguez and address rising antisemitic hate.
