Sarah Milgrim, killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum Wednesday with her boyfriend, Yaron Lischinsky, was very involved in Jewish life.

Tributes are still pouring in for 26-year-old Sarah Milgrim, a Kansas native whose life was cut short last week in what the FBI says was a targeted antisemitic attack in Washington, D.C.

A memorial is growing outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., where two Israeli Embassy staffers, including a Kansas native, were shot and killed Wednesday night in what federal authorities are calling an act of terror.

A 31-year-old Illinois man has been charged with two counts of murder after opening fire 21 times on a young couple exiting an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., late Wednesday, according to a criminal complaint, shooting the victims in the back and then firing again at the woman as she tried to crawl away.

Both victims were embassy employees, who were about to get engaged; couple worked and advocated for Israeli-Arab coexistence

She made me want to be more Jewish,” said Amanda Birger, a former University of Kansas classmate who met Milgrim at KU Hillel, a Jewish organization at the college.

The shocking murder of two Israeli diplomats in Washington D.C. last night has led to an outpouring of support and calls to end antisemitism. Among the many organizations addressing the killing are the Washington Commanders.

Israeli Embassy 'shooter' Elias Rodriguez has been charged with the murder of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim and could face the death penalty if convicted
