CHICAGO -- Chicago police confirmed Thursday that detectives are talking to two persons of interest in connection with the alleged attack on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett.
Multiple sources have told ABC7 Eyewitness News that police are investigating whether Smollett and the two men staged the attack allegedly because Smollett was being written off of "Empire."
A source familiar with the investigation told the ABC7 I-Team that Smollett failed to appear for an interview with detectives earlier Thursday.
A source briefed on the Smollett investigation confirmed to ABC News that Chicago police are questioning the two persons of interest -- one of whom has appeared on "Empire."
The law enforcement official also told ABC News that the homes of the persons of interest were raided Wednesday night. Police removed shoes, electronic devices and other items they believe could help them they determine if the two people played any role in the assault from those homes.
Chicago police said they "cannot confirm any of those reports." No charges have been filed.

filing a false police report is a misd in most cases, not sure about city of chicago
What you did there.....I saw it. LOL
“I’m Shocked!”
Next question: Was that threat being investigated by the FBI also a hoax by Jussie? They have to charge him after all this.
as a sodomite, he’s already sick in the head...
“told ABC News that the homes of the persons of interest were raided Wednesday night.”
Suspects. There is no such hing as a person of interest...they are “suspects”.
So, a racists hate crime...... waiting on the charges to be levied....
:::: crickets :::::
Well, I do believe there’s certainly some confusion at the very least.
Saw that TMZ said that the two suspects are from Nigeria but that they didn’t have skin color yet to report. Can’t make this sh*t up!
Exactly. False rape, false assault, etc should have the same penalties the accused would face.
Wow. Being able to find proof that it was fake, absent a confession by the principal, is unexpected (! *drink*).
He might enjoy that.
the TMZ comments are fun and some hilarious. My favorite: They had bleach in their kitchen??? THOSE ANIMALS!
....let’s start using the word “smollett” instead of hoax...this way he gets tied to it...
I will still say nothing will happen to him except being kicked off the TV show, perhaps. Got to keep the Chicago minorities happy. They are a huge voting block in the city. There is a third Daley running for mayor now. Any charges on little ol Jussie will be a racist attack by the “white machine”.
So sorry for your loss...
Unfortunately there have been many spawned just like him . . .they’re everywhere, they’re everywhere.
Barbara : [whistles] Nice butt. That's what they'll say.
Ken Kessler : I beg your pardon?
Barbara : Nice butt. That's what they'll say on your first day, in the men's club.
Ken Kessler : The men's club?
Barbara : Mmm. The San Quentin Country Club. With a cute little rear end like that, you'll be the belle of the ball. Your dance card'll be filled every day. You'll be so popular, making all kinds of new, close friends. Big, ugly, hairy friends! Not that you'll ever see what they look like, 'cause you'll be facing the other way.
Ken Kessler : You're very good at this. You should write children's books.
