The FBI has identified a suspect it's focusing on in the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, according to law enforcement officials

The theory, as CNN has reported, is that Sicknick became ill from bear spray used by the mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6, and video evidence CNN previously reported on appears to show the attack that could have caused his death.

In a statement late Friday, the US Capitol Police noted that the medical examiner's report on Sicknick's death wasn't finished yet:"We are awaiting toxicology results and continue to work with other government agencies regarding the death investigation." The New York Times first reported that investigators have zeroed in on one suspect, but have yet to identify the assailant by name.

In police audio played at former President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial, officers could be heard screaming during the attack that some members of the violent Capitol mob were spraying them with bear spray. Republican Sen.
