Years before he allegedly shot and killed two Israeli Embassy employees in Washington, Elias Rodriguez was an active member of left-wing groups in Chicago, protesting police violence and a proposed Amazon headquarters.

Authorities raid Elias Rodriguez's Chicago apartment after he allegedly killed two Israeli embassy workers outside a Jewish museum in Washington, D.C.

Rodriguez’s charges were laid out in a criminal complaint. He was informed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Matthew Sharbaugh during an initial appearance in federal court Thursday that some of the charges against him carry the possibility of the death penalty or life in prison, officials said in the briefing later that afternoon.

The suspect in the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staff outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., has been charged. Newsweek's live blog is closed.

A manifesto thought to be written by the suspect called on readers to “Escalate For Gaza, Bring The War Home.”

Rabbi Brant Rosen of Tzedek Chicago said he did not know whether the shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum was antisemitic.
