The body of Yaron Lischinsky, the Israeli embassy employee who was gunned down in an antisemitic attack in Washington, DC, Wednesday night, is expected to return to Israel on Friday, officials confirmed.

In the years before he was accused of killing two Israeli Embassy employees, the suspect in the fatal shootings was an active participant in Chicago’s left-wing protest scene, speaking out against police violence and a proposed Amazon headquarters.

Lischinsky and his girlfriend Sarah Milgrim were shot dead in Washington on Wednesday night, in an antisemitic attack that's left the Jewish community in shock.

The image of a happy couple projected on a screen at the Jewish Community Campus Thursday night was one people around the world have seen, but it felt painfully close for those who sat in the social hall.

Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim hailed from different parts of the world, but their paths led them both to pursue careers in diplomacy and to the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC – where they found each other and fell in love.

Slain staffer Yaron Lischinsky had purchased an engagement ring and was planning to propose to his colleague Sarah Milgrim.

WASHINGTON — As D.C. continues to grapple with Wednesday night’s violent shooting that left a couple dead in front of the Capital Jewish Museum, a memorial for the two Israeli Embassy staffers killed has been growing since the shooting.

Several Jewish organizations and Chicago officials held a press conference Friday to condemn the fatal shooting of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, Israeli Embassy staffers, on Wednesday night as they were leaving an event at a Jewish museum.
