Authorities scoured for evidence today, both at the suspect’s alleged residence and into his background. For now, they believe he acted alone.
A Department of Homeland Security official said Soliman was living in the U.S. illegally. After arriving legally in 2022, he overstayed his tourist B-2 visa. President Trump today seized upon that on his social media, writing: “This is yet another example of why we must keep our border secure.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also condemned the attack, saying the victims were targeted simply because they were Jews.
One of the victims was a Holocaust survivor, according to a Justice Department official.
