FBI Releases New Video of 2021 DC Pipe Bomb Suspect Offering $500K Reward

The FBI released new surveillance footage showing the suspect who planted pipe bombs outside the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., on January 5, 2021, the night before the Capitol riot. The videos reveal the suspect, estimated to be about 5 feet 7 inches tall and wearing a gray hoodie, mask, gloves, and distinctive Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes, walking to both locations and placing the bombs, which were described as viable and capable of causing serious harm. The suspect was captured on camera at various points, including sitting on a bench near the DNC building and walking through an alley behind the RNC building, although the second bomb placement was not caught directly on camera. The FBI continues to investigate this unresolved case and is offering a $500,000 reward for information leading to the suspect's arrest. Despite thorough investigation efforts over more than four years, the identity of the perpetrator remains unknown, and authorities hope the new footage prompts someone with relevant information to come forward.
