The FBI and the Metropolitan Police Department released the photos of persons of interest (POIs) who participated in the U.S. Capitol riot. The MPD is offering a $1,000 reward for any information that will lead to the arrest and prosecution of the POIs.

Metropolitan Police Department Chief of Police Robert J. Contee III said, “The events that happened at and around the United States Capitol were unconscionable, and those responsible will be held accountable for their attempts to thwart Democracy.”

“While these charges represent a positive step, there is still work to be done. Our collective intentions are to work diligently to identify all of the persons responsible for the insurrection at our U.S. Capitol,” he added.
