A maniac accused of gunning down two Israeli Embassy workers may face the death penalty, according to newly-unsealed court documents.

Elias Rodriguez, 31, was charged with nine counts, including two hate crimes resulting in death charges and two of assault, in the killings of Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, outside Washington DC’s Capital Jewish Museum in May.

The indictment also includes notice of special findings that would allow the Justice Department to potentially pursue the death penalty, according to documents filed Wednesday in federal court in Washington.

Rodriguez, who was heard shouting, “Free, free Palestine,” after the shootings, was previously charged with murder of foreign officials and other crimes.

The new hate crime charges — added after the case was brought before a grand jury — means prosecutors must prove Rodriguez was motivated by antisemitism when he gunned down the soon-to-be-engaged couple.

“This Justice Department will not tolerate violence motivated by hatred of faith or national origin, and we will enforce our federal civil rights laws accordingly,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said in a statement. 

Rodriguez flew to DC from Chicago with a handgun in his checked luggage ahead of the May 21 killings, and purchased a ticket for the event three hours before it started, authorities said in court papers.

He was seen pacing outside the event, which was focused on getting aid into Gaza, before approaching a group of four people and opening fire.

Rodriguez then leaned over Lischinsky and Milgrim as they fell to the ground and fired additional shots, surveillance video shows.

“I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza, I am unarmed,” Rodriguez said after walking inside the museum, yelling “shame on you” at attendees, according to court documents.

He later told detectives he was inspired by “martyr” Aaron Bushnell, an active-duty Air Force member who set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in February 2024, documents show.

Rodriguez wrote that he took “satisfaction” in the killings, and set the “perpetrators and abettors have forfeited their humanity,” in a scheduled social media post he planned to make in the hours after the shooting, according to the indictment.

“A perpetrator may then be a loving parent, a filial child, a generous and charitable friend, an amiable stranger…, and yet be a monster all the same. Humanity doesn’t exempt one from accountability,” he wrote, according to the indictment.

“Please please please god please vaporize every Israeli 18 and above,” Rodriguez allegedly wrote in a direct message in May 2024, one of several extremist social media posts made in the months before the killings, according to the charging documents.

Rodriguez has not yet entered a plea. He is due to make his next court appearance on Friday.

Kansas-born Milgrim met “the love of her life,” Lischinsky, while working at the Israeli Embassy in the fall of 2023, according to her obituary.

The couple were due to fly to Israel four days after their murders, where Lischinsky had planned to ask for Milgrim’s hand in marriage. 

A passionate peace advocate, Milgrim had worked with Tech2Peace, an Israeli peacebuilding organization, while writing her masters.

“The most impactful peacebuilding happens outside political institutions,” she wrote in her research, according to her obit. “It happens in shared rooms, over common projects, in the eyes of strangers who become friends.”
