Nearly four years after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, the FBI has released new video and information about the suspect who allegedly planted pipe bombs at the Democratic and Republican National Committee offices the night before. The bombs didn’t detonate, but the FBI said they were “viable” and posed a risk to people.

In the newly released security camera video, the suspect can be seen planting a pipe bomb outside the DNC headquarters in Washington, D.C., on the night of Jan. 5, 2021. A second pipe bomb was left close to the RNC headquarters the same night.

The FBI also released new information about the suspect, saying it believes the masked and hooded person is about 5 foot, 7 inches tall, and was wearing Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes.

According to the FBI, fewer than 25,000 pairs of those shoes were sold between August 2018 and the time of the attack.

Investigators are hoping the new video and information, along with a $500,000 reward, can help them solve the years-old mystery. While the bombs were planted the night before the attack on the U.S. Capitol, investigators said there’s no clear link between the events of Jan. 6 and the devices.
