Noah Green Capitol Suspect
WASHINGTON DC (77WABC) – The suspect who rammed his car into two US Capitol Police officers, killing one of them has been identified as Noah Green.
The 25-year-old, who was African American, recently lived in Virginia but was from Indiana. In postings on social media, he let his friends and family know that the past few years have been “tough” and the past few months “tougher.”
“I am currently now unemployed after I left my job partly due to afflictions, but ultimately, in search of a spiritual journey,” he wrote on his now-deleted Facebook page.
Green’s page featured several recent postings that reference the teachings of the Nation of Islam. Nation of Islam has been classified as a “designated hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center due to what the SPLC calls “the deeply racist, antisemitic and anti-LGBT rhetoric of its leaders.”
Green also posted about the “end times” in one post, and in another on March 17, warned about the “last days of our world as we know it.”
Green’s final post on Facebook, from March 21, was a YouTube video called “the crucifixion of Michael Jackson,” a 150-minute sermon in which Farrakhan defends Michael Jackson.
