Suspect Pleads Not Guilty in Embassy Staffers' Deaths

Elias Rodriguez, accused of killing two Israeli embassy staffers, pleaded not guilty.

The shooting occurred in Washington D.C. on May 21.

The victims, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were about to be engaged.

Rodriguez allegedly waited outside a museum and fired multiple rounds.

He reportedly shouted pro-Palestinian slogans and later told investigators he did it for Palestine and Gaza.

Prosecutors say he was motivated by anti-Israel hatred.

Rodriguez faces charges including a hate crime and murder, potentially leading to the death penalty.
