ai generated text

Elias Rodriguez, a 31-year-old man, is accused of opening fire on a group of people outside the Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. on May 22, 2025. He allegedly shouted slogans in support of Palestine and was subsequently taken into custody. The victims of the shooting were identified as Yaron Lischinsky, 31, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, who worked at the Israeli embassy. Rodriguez reportedly told police on the scene, "I did it for Palestine," and witnesses also heard him chant "Free Palestine" after being taken into custody. Rodriguez is facing charges of first-degree murder, murder of foreign officials, and causing death with a firearm. Federal prosecutors have also warned that the charges against him may not be the only ones he will face.
