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.

Career Suicide likely followed by REAL suicide. He is done.
My favorite part was how after the “attack,” he still proceeded to Subway to get a sandwich and carry it home.
It was a Windsor knot, actually. :)
Huffington Post" 'Taraji P. Henson On Jussie Smollett Attack: Hate Wont Win ...Jussie is love. Thats who he is. And thats all he knows, his Empire co-star said.
Strong Delusion has already taken over some part of society.
Nope, the latest is he “beat his attackers WITH his Subway sandwich”.
Speaking of nooses...the alleged noose was tied in a... (wait for it)... Windsor knot.
These dumbasses used a Windsor knot instead of a hangman’s noose. Probably because they didn’t know how to tie one.

Supposedly the two “attackers” were Nigerian extras from the show.
You see? Foreigners are even taking jobs from American MAGA ass-kickers!
Build the Wall!
Forgiveness is the key. Just like they had for the imaginary perps. Any alt-right worth his salt knows nooses are old fashion.
I heard it was a couple of middle aged white guys in MAGA hats.
They did it out of love! /Jeb!
This isn’t a done deal yet; the police spokesman is denying the accuracy of the reports.
Exactly what I thought the cops would do if they wanted to find the truth. Glad to see they did the right thing here.
