He got around. I guess you can say he was an Indiana man too.

The suspect in the death of a Capitol Police officer has ties to Indiana, according to reports.

Noah Green, 25, has been identified by law enforcement as the man who drove the vehicle into two U.S. Capital police officers on Friday afternoon.

Who is Noah Green?

Several law enforcement sources said Green has connections to Indiana and Virginia.

The Washington Post reported Friday evening that it had interviewed Green's brother, Brendan Green, who said Noah had indeed lived previously in Indianapolis but then had moved to Africa. More recently, Brendan Green told the Post, his brother had moved in with him in his Virginia apartment.

Brendan Green said the troubling signs his brother was unraveling built up until the night before authorities said Noah Green launched an attack outside the Capitol.

Brendan Green said his brother was violently ill Thursday evening in the Virginia apartment they shared, before he left and sent a forlorn text that was one of their final communications.

“ ‘I’m sorry but I’m just going to go and live and be homeless,’ ” Brendan Green said the text read. “Thank you for everything that you’ve done. I looked up to you when I was a kid. You inspired me a lot.”

Less than 24 hours later, Capitol Police said a man crashed his vehicle into two officers at a barricade outside the Capitol before getting out of the car and charging them with a knife. At least one officer opened fire, fatally wounding him. Several people familiar with the investigation identified the suspect as Noah Green.
