A large law enforcement presence blocked off roads in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood Thursday morning as officers executed a search believed to be connected to a deadly shooting in outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon described the shooting as “a depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism” in a post on X. The shooting, which took place in the area of 3rd and F Street NW, killed a man and a woman, who have not yet been publicly identified. Others, including Israeli embassy employees, were injured.

Police identified the lone suspect as Elias Rodriguez, a Chicago man in his early 30s, in a shooting that left two Israeli Embassy staffers dead.

Israeli missions in the United States have beefed up security and lowered their flags to half-staff after the murders took place.

Security concerns are heightened following a deadly shooting outside an American Jewish Committee (AJC) event in Washington, D.C.
