FBI Raids Chicago Apartment of DC Israeli Embassy Shooting Suspect

Authorities raided the Chicago apartment of Elias Rodriguez, a 31-year-old left-wing activist accused of fatally shooting two Israeli embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. The attack occurred after Rodriguez was observed pacing outside the event and he was detained after chanting "Free, free Palestine!" inside the museum. The victims, a young couple about to be engaged, have been mourned internationally, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemning the attack as a brutal terrorist act. Law enforcement is investigating the motive, and the FBI is supporting the Washington field office to piece together the events leading up to the shooting. Rodriguez's neighbors described him as quiet and sensitive to Palestinian issues, with signs in his apartment supporting Palestinian causes. U.S. officials emphasized that Rodriguez was not on any watchlists and believed to have acted alone, while security has been increased at Israeli diplomatic missions worldwide.
