At 9:08 p.m. on May 21, 2025, in Washington, D.C., a man armed with a handgun opened fire on a group of people outside of the Lillian & Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum, killing two staff members of the Embassy of Israel. The victims, a 30-year-old German-Israeli man, Yaron Lischinsky, and a 26-year-old American woman, Sarah Milgrim, were a romantic couple. The couple was shot while leaving the museum, which was the venue for a "Young Diplomats Reception" hosted by the American Jewish Committee. Event security staff apprehended a suspect, Elias Rodriguez, a 31-year-old resident of Chicago. Rodriguez was filmed yelling "Free, free Palestine!" while handcuffed. The Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia stated that the attack was being jointly investigated with the Federal Bureau of Investigation as an act of targeted violence.
