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.

Capitol Crossing

Capitol Crossing is a $1.3 billion real estate development often also referred to as a community revitalization project in downtown Washington, D.C. Construction on the project began in 2014 and was completed in 2021. The Capitol Crossing project is privately funded, and is one of the largest ongoing private developments in DC. This 2.2 million square foot project covers a 7-acre site above I-395 and consists of 5 mixed use buildings: 200 Massachusetts, 250 Massachusetts, 200 F Street, 600 Second, and 201 F Street. These five multi-use buildings will span three long blocks over the highway. The project is expected to have 75,000 square feet of retail, restaurants, and cafes, and below the project will be a 4-level garage with 1,146 parking spaces and 440 bicycle parking spaces. As a major infrastructure project, Capitol Crossing is expected to bring 8,000 permanent jobs as well as contribute over 40-million-dollar tax per year once established.Developers of Capitol Crossing have claimed the project will create a greener, more sustainable city with Washington D.C.’s first “eco-district.” The five buildings are expected to be LEED Platinum certified and the finished site will feature cogeneration power, rainwater catchment, and eco-chimney filtration. The three blocks being built do not take land from Virginia or Maryland, but bring back land that was taken years ago.The neighborhoods of Capitol Hill and the East End, which have been long divided by the highway, will be reconnected in the near future due to the construction of a platform adjacent to Massachusetts Avenue. According to city officials, this $200 million platform built over the highway will enhance the vibrancy of east downtown community of Washington, D.C.According to Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, the development project will provide 150 residential units, and over one third of them are affordable to most of the median income.The First Phase of the project was developed by Property Group Partners, with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill serving as master planners and Roche-Dinkeloo as architect. The Second Phase of the project will be developed by Capitol Crossing Advisors with Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and Ennead as architects.
