Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and his fiancée-to-be were shot and murdered during an apparent antisemitic terrorist attack by an anti-Israel gunman outside of a Jewish museum in Washington DC.
One of the two victims gunned down outside of an event held at a Jewish museum in Washington D.C. has been identified as Yaron Lischinsky, an employee of the Israeli Foreign Ministry serving as a staffer at the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C.
Lischinsky and his girlfriend, who also worked as a staffer at the Israeli embassy, were shot dead Wednesday night at approximately 9:15 p.m. as they exited the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C., accompanied by two other people.
The gunman, 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, was detained by museum security personnel shortly after the shooting when he attempted to enter the building.
