What we know about Elias Rodriguez, terror suspect accused of killing two Israeli Embassy staffers in DC

The suspected terrorist busted for shooting dead two Israeli Embassy staffers has ties to a radical left-wing group that fiercely advocates on behalf of Palestinians.

Elias Rodriguez, 31, allegedly confessed to gunning down the couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. late Wednesday, where he was heard chanting “Free, free Palestine,”, cops said.

As investigators probed a motive behind the horrific antisemitic bloodshed, details were beginning to emerge about the anti-Israel agitator.

Rodriguez was once linked to the Party for Socialism and Liberation — a far-left group that regularly posts anti-Israel rhetoric on social media.

“End the genocide. Israel out of Gaza now,” the group posted Wednesday — just hours before the DC shooting.

The group confirmed Rodriguez’s membership in the wake of the shooting they distanced themselves from the violence.

“We reject any attempt to associate the PSL with the DC shooting. Elias Rodriguez is not a member of the PSL,” the group said in an X post early Thursday.

“He had a brief association with one branch of the PSL that ended in 2017. We know of no contact with him in over 7 years. We have nothing to do with this shooting and do not support it.”

In a since-deleted article on the group’s Liberation news outlet, Rodriguez was described as a member who participated in a 2017 protest outside the home of then-Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Meanwhile, Rodriguez was being interviewed by D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI early Thursday as authorities scrambled to piece together his history.

Witnesses described seeing a distressed Rodriguez pacing outside the museum just moments after the gunfire rang out.

People came to his aid and brought him water, thinking he needed help, without realizing he was the suspect.

When police arrived at the scene, he pulled out a red keffiyeh and repeatedly yelled, “Free Palestine,” witnesses and police said.

Footage showed the alleged maniac — wearing a suit jacket and slacks — being hauled away in cuffs in the aftermath.
