Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national, faces 17 federal counts including the fatal shooting of West Virginia Army National Guard Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and critical wounding of U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe during a patrol on November 26, 2025, blocks from the White House. Federal prosecutors have added charges carrying the death penalty but have not decided whether to seek execution. Lakanwal pleaded not guilty; the victims were part of a National Guard surge ordered by President Donald Trump.
