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.
To parents, you must supervise your kids or face criminal consequences. Law abiding taxpayers should no longer have to pay for the chaos caused by parental neglect.
The results of the D.C. Safe Task Force are undeniable:
▪️12,886 arrests
▪️1,418 firearms seized
▪️7,000+ convictions secured in just one year
These aren’t just numbers. They represent lives saved, families protected, businesses operating safely, and neighborhoods reclaiming peace.
This summer surge will continue driving violent crime out of Washington ahead of America 250.
Violent, organized crews who treat our neighborhoods as targets and use rescue tools designed to save lives to instead tear open ATMs and terrorize businesses will be met with relentless prosecution.
When these criminals couldn’t scam or hack their way into crypto fortunes, they sent Marlon Ferro to BREAK INTO HOMES and steal hardware wallets by force.
This scheme blended sophisticated online fraud with old-fashioned burglary to steal MILLIONS in cryptocurrency.
Ferro’s sentence sends a clear message: crypto fraud is NOT a victimless crime and the criminals will end up in federal prison.
