Prosecutors Say Bodycam Captured Capital Jewish Museum Killings

They argue the recording strengthens their claim that the Washington attack was planned.

Overview

  • New court filings say Elias Rodriguez wore a KaySunLink body camera that recorded first-person video and audio of the May 21 shooting.
  • Prosecutors cite Amazon records showing he bought the device in Chicago on May 18 and had it delivered to his Washington hotel days before the attack.
  • Rodriguez, 31, is charged with murder of foreign officials and federal hate crimes in the killings of Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 26.
  • He has pleaded not guilty, and filings report he shouted pro‑Palestinian phrases during and after the gunfire.
  • The August indictment includes charges that could expose him to the federal death penalty if he is convicted.
