ABC Sources: Police investigating whether Jussie Smollett staged attack with help of others, allegedly being written off ‘Empire’
A CBS Chicago reporter broke the news Thursday evening that the home of the two “persons of interests” in the widely circulated community alert was raided by Chicago police. In that raid, they seized a list of items including multiple containers of bleach, a “red hat,” an Empire script, a Mossberg rifle, and two computers. The home is occupied by the two men, and at least one is an extra on Jussie Smollett’s show, Empire. The pair left for their home country of Nigeria immediately after the “attack.”
You are so busted @JussieSmollett do not pass go, do not collect one more ounce of sympathy. Go directly to jail. You follow the men arrested, they love you. @EmpireWriters @EmpireFOX @Chicago_Police @FBIChicago #JussieSmollett pic.twitter.com/SSpbpdFbAY
