After extensive review of the facts and the law, my office will seek the death penalty against Elias Rodriguez. The superseding indictment alleges the intentional and premeditated murders of Yaron Lischinsky (30) and Sarah Milgrim (26), the targeted killing of individuals associated with an event for young Jewish professionals at the Capital Jewish Museum, and conduct that created a grave risk to additional innocent victims.
Let me be clear: anyone who commits acts of political violence in the nation’s capital will face the full force of the law.

Starting today, my office will aggressively prosecute parents under D.C.’s curfew law.
