Authorities say Elias Rodriguez, of Chicago, continued to fire on one of the two Israeli Embassy employees as she tried to crawl away.
FBI agents conducted a court-authorized search of an apartment in Chicago's East Albany Park neighborhood, linked to Elias Rodriguez, the suspect in the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy staff members in Washington.
The Justice Department charged Elias Rodriguez, of Chicago, with murder of foreign officials, first-degree murder and other crimes in the shooting deaths of two Israeli Embassy employees in Washington.
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.
Elias Rodriguez, a 31-year-old Chicago resident, was charged in the deaths of a young couple. Moments after a burst of gunfire was heard outside the Capital Jewish Museum in downtown Washington on Wednesday night, a breathless man in a blue suit rushed into the building.
