Elias Rodriguez, 31, faces charges of first-degree murder and killing foreign officials after allegedly shooting two Israeli embassy employees in Washington. The attack, viewed as terrorism, left victims Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky dead. Rodriguez, after being taken into custody, claimed he 'did it for Palestine' and would face potentially more charges as the case unfolds. Law enforcement has evidence, including security footage, showing Rodriguez's premeditated actions. The attack led to heightened security at Israeli embassies globally following this tragic event aimed at a gathering supporting Gazans.
"I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza," said Elias Rodriguez after being arrested for the murders, describing his actions as a targeted act of terrorism.
Witnesses reported that Rodriguez, visibly distressed after the shooting, entered the museum where a dedicated event for helping Gazans was taking place.
