Sources have identified the suspect in a deadly Capitol attack as Noah Green, a 25-year-old from Indiana with ties to Virginia and the Nation of Islam.
Green allegedly slammed his sedan into two police officers near the Capitol’s North Barricade, the entrance where congress members and their aides come and go.
The attack killed U.S. Capitol Police Officer William “Billy” Evans and injured another officer, who was still hospitalized Friday evening in stable condition.
Green did not appear to have a criminal record.
Sources told Fox News it appeared to be a “lone wolf” attack and that the suspect identified himself as a Nation of Islam follower on Facebook who may have recently lost his job.
A Facebook profile matching that description has been taken down by the social media giant – but Fox News reviewed a number of posts and images before that happened.
Facebook said it was working with law enforcement and had taken down the profile under its “Dangerous Individuals and Organizations” policy.
The page included photos and videos of Nation of Islam rallies, and the bio identified Green as “Follower of Farrakhan.”
And a recent profile photo appears to resemble the build and haircut of news camera video showing the suspect being loaded into an ambulance.
The most recent post was a YouTube video of a 2009 Louis Farrakhan speech titled, “The Crucifixion of Michael Jackson.” In it, the Nation of Islam leader said Jesus was not the Messiah and called Christian theology a lie.
