Elias Rodriguez, who cried out “free Palestine” after allegedly shooting dead two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, DC on Wednesday, is a socialist activist who praised another murder suspect, Luigi Mangione, reports say.
Elias RodriguezRodriguez posted “death to America” and “death to Israel” on his social media accounts, the New York Post reported on Thursday.
“Happy New Year. Death To Israel,” the account, brandishing the handle @kyotoleather, posted at the beginning of 2024.
Weeks later, another post on the account declared: “De@th 2 Amerikkka.”

Another post from December says, “violence does not have to happen, but if it does, then it should.”
The day after the 2024 election, he reposted a message, “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For Hamas.”
Other posts praise the actions of Mangione, claiming that “80% of the country applauds the targeted annihilation of a healthcare insurance exec.” Mangione has been charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed that investigators were looking at “certain writings,” adding that the feds were limited in what they could divulge publicly about the investigation given they were “aggressively” pursuing charges against the suspect.
Rodriguez yelled “Free, free Palestine” as police were taking him into custody for the killing of Yaron Lischinsky as well as his girlfriend Sarah Lynn Milgrim. The couple was set to get engaged next week.
Authorities said that Rodriguez was seen outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, DC and then approached a group, shooting the couple at point-blank range.
“Once in handcuffs, the suspect identified where he discarded the weapon, and that weapon has been recovered, and he implied that he committed the offense,” DC Police Chief Pamela Smith said.
