Event Summary

2025 Capital Jewish Museum shooting, 31, has been indicted on four additional counts of terrorism, bringing his total charges to nine, including hate crimes. These charges stem from an incident last year in Washington, D.C., where Rodriguez allegedly opened fire on people leaving an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee, killing two Israeli diplomats, 2025 Capital Jewish Museum shooting, 30, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26. Prosecutors accuse Rodriguez of firing approximately 20 shots from a semi-automatic handgun while shouting 'Free Palestine.' The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia stated that the terrorism-related charges carry a mandatory life sentence or the death penalty. FBI Assistant Director Darren B. Cox noted that Rodriguez published a manifesto to justify his actions and inspire political violence. The shooting occurred amidst polarization in the United States over the war in Gaza, which was Israel's response to Hamas's October 2023 attack.
