Elias Rodriguez, 31, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy aides in Washington, an attack condemned as antisemitic. Rodriguez reportedly shouted pro-Palestinian slogans during the incident. The victims, a young couple engaged in peace efforts, were killed outside a Jewish advocacy event. Authorities are treating the case as a hate crime and terrorism. Rodriguez faces death penalty-eligible charges and waived his detention hearing.
