The FBI and Chicago police are raiding the Albany Park home of Elias Rodriguez, the 30-year-old suspect in a double murder outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Wednesday.
Authorities raided the Chicago apartment of a 30-year-old left-wing activist accused of killing two Israeli embassy workers outside a Jewish museum in Washington, D.C., Thursday, a day after the surprise attack, as the FBI looks to verify the authenticity of an apparent antisemitic “manifesto” circulating online.
Agents and officers in tactical gear, carrying rifles and at least one ballistic shield, were seen swarming the brick building around 9 a.m.
Elias Rodriguez is accused of lurking outside an event at the museum and then opening fire on two people as they were leaving.Â
