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.

While the police were out chasing his bullshit non-existent white guys, how many REAL crimes were being committed against normal people?

He should be held as an accessory in EVERY crime committed over the last few days, just for drawing off resources.

What a freak show psychopath.

I think the cops knew who these 2 guys were and were waiting for them to come back from Nigeria. This is a real crime. They were waiting for them to return so they could nab them.

“For him to have done this, to try to destroy INNOCENT people’s LIVES”

the two persons of interest are not “innocent”; it’s looking like they were co-conspirators in perpetuating the fake attack ...

There is 0% truth that @JussieSmollett was going to be written off of Empire. This rumor is totally false. He is the third lead and one of the most beloved characters on the show. Writing him off the show has NEVER even been discussed.
