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.

“Local crime reporters in Chicago claim the Chicago police were slow-playing the case to see if Jussie Smollett was telling the truth.
CWB previously reported that police already had Jussie Smollett’s complete phone records from the a tower data dump given by the phone provider.
When Smollett gave police “limited and redacted” phone records he downloaded on a PDF, all police had to do was look at the phone numbers he deleted — in other words, Jussie Smollett did the detective work for the investigators. “

Hopefully this creep will be spending some quality time time in jail.
You’ve got a very devious person right there. He’s sick in the head. I hope he and his accomplices have the full weight of the law come down on them for this conspiracy.
What about the smart people who always say “nothing will happen to him”?
and the noose tightens
Danny Strong’s fault!
Racist!!!!!
This little assclown is a real psychopath, isn’t he....
Really? What are the odds that a racist attack would turn out to be a hoax? Again?
people who phony up crimes should do the same amount of jail or prison time as if the crime was true and someone else was convicted and sentenced.
What is at this point a clearly rhetorical question: Does the law apply equally to the left or not?
I watched Good Morning America kiss his ass this morning.
Okay Carly Simon, sue me...
At least Fox is doing the right thing. Hopefully, Chicago PD will arrest him for filing a false police report.
The comments on TMZ are a riot.
This openly gay actor will very popular in jail.
