What We Know About The Suspect Who Planted Bombs Before The Capitol Riot

The FBI is asking anyone with information to view the virtual map investigators created and come forward with any information.

«The FBI is extremely grateful to the American people who have already provided us with vital assistance in this case, said Steven M. D’Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office. «Since January, the FBI has conducted more than 800 interviews, collected more than 23,000 video files, and assessed more than 300 tips related to this investigation. Those tips have helped us uncover new information, which we are releasing today and asking the public to view it and call us with any information you think may be relevant.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI are offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the identification of the suspect.

«We know it is hard to report information about a friend or family member, but these pipe bombs were viable devices that could have detonated, causing innocent bystanders to be seriously injured or killed. Your tip could be the one that prevents this person from harming themselves or anyone else, D’Antuono said.

This virtual map provided by the FBI depicts the approximate route an unknown suspect walked on Jan. 5, 2021, while placing two pipe bombs in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The map also features video of the suspect at various points along the route.
