Nuevos cargos federales plantean la posibilidad de la pena de muerte para el sospechoso del tiroteo en D.C.

Los fiscales federales han añadido ocho nuevos cargos contra Rahmanullah Lakanwal, el hombre acusado de matar a un miembro de la Guardia Nacional y herir a otro en Washington, D.C. Los cargos lo hacen elegible para la pena de muerte si es declarado culpable.

Los fiscales presentaron la acusación formal sustitutiva el martes. Incluye el asesinato de una persona que asistía a un oficial de EE. UU. y el disparo de un arma de fuego durante un crimen violento que causa la muerte. Un gran jurado federal determinó por separado que Lakanwal mató intencionalmente a la especialista del Ejército Sarah Beckstrom e intentó matar a varias personas.

El Departamento de Justicia informó que su Comité de Casos Capitales revisará si solicitará la pena capital. Lakanwal, un ciudadano afgano, se declaró inocente de todos los cargos en una audiencia el mismo día.

Se le acusa de emboscar a miembros de la Guardia Nacional de Virginia Occidental el pasado noviembre cerca de la Casa Blanca. Beckstrom murió y el sargento de la Fuerza Aérea Andrew Wolfe resultó gravemente herido. Otros dos miembros del servicio lo sometieron poco después.

Lakanwal ingresó a Estados Unidos en 2021 bajo la Operación Aliados Bienvenidos después de trabajar con las fuerzas estadounidenses, incluida la CIA, en Afganistán.
