Witnesses Who Saw Shooter Inside Jewish Museum Speak to BBC

  • On the evening of May 21, 2025, Elias Rodriguez, 31, entered Washington D.C.'s Capital Jewish Museum and later admitted to shooting and killing two people outside.
  • Rodriguez was allowed inside after an event about aid to Gaza ended at 9 p.m., spending about 15 minutes with attendees before revealing his actions.
  • Witnesses said Rodriguez appeared distressed and wore a red and white keffiyeh before shouting 'I did it!' and 'Free Palestine!' near the museum entrance.
  • Authorities found a 900-word manifesto linked to Rodriguez expressing justification related to the Gaza war, while police recovered the weapon after his arrest.
  • The incident has prompted investigation into antisemitic motives and raised concerns about security and protection for Jewish people in the U.S.
