The authorities had said earlier that an AK-47 assault rifle was found in the abandoned car, and that the evidence at the scene led the authorities to seek Oscar Ramiro Ortega, 21, described as 5-feet-11 and 160 pounds, with a medium build, brown eyes and black hair, and distinctive tattoos.
The Park Police, who have issued a warrant for Mr. Ortegas arrest, also said he had a tattoo with the word Israel on his neck, and published photos with other details of his appearance including a heavy beard and other tattoos.
News reports said that Mr. Ortega had an encounter with police in Arlington, Virginia, early on Friday, outside a house where he was believed to be squatting, but they did not arrest him.
ABC News reported that Mr. Ortega has a criminal record that includes domestic violence and drug charges.

—How long before the leftists start a meme that Ortega was a “Zionist terrorist” because of his tattoo?
(I believe “Israel” is actually a fairly common Hispanic name).
Has Eric Holder traced the gun back to “Fast and Furious”?
