"We filed notice that my office will seek death against the defendant Elias Rodriguez, for the killing of two young Israeli Embassy staff members at the Capitol Jewish Museum," Pirro said in a press conference. Rodriguez has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the killings of couple Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrime outside the Capital Jewish Museum on May 21, 2025.
Leading up to the shooting, police had said that they saw Rodriguez pacing in front of the museum and then approached a group of people where Lischinsky and Milgrim were, and shot them at point-blank range. Video captured Rodriguez yelling "Free, free Palestine" as he was being taken into custody.
Rodriguez, a socialist, pro-Palestinian activist, reportedly wrote in an alleged manifesto, "Public opinion has shifted against the genocidal apartheid state, and the American government has simply shrugged, they'll do without public opinion then, criminalize it where they can, suffocate it with bland reassurances that they're doing all they can to restrain Israel where it cannot criminalize protest outright."
Leaked text messages allegedly written by Rodriguez showed the suspected shooter calling for the "genocide of white people." The message stated, "Lol you probably would have to actually genocide white people to make this a normal country." He added, "Like even a very targeted and selective rehabilitation program would probably have to lead to the lifetime imprisonments of tens of millions of white people."
Friends said that Rodriguez was "a big proponent of the 'emerging resistance axis' of Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, Assad's Syria," and that he referred to Israel as "The Little Satan," and "seemed pretty vocally in favor of Hamas for years - way before 2023."
