The Washington, D.C. neo-Nazi brothers whose violent views are detailed in a criminal complaint first reported Tuesday by the Washington Post were not just isolated online “shit-posters.” They were actively engaged in the white nationalist movement, turning up to events and interacting online with notorious figures in the community. That online trail brought them to the attention of investigators probing the social media connections of Robert Bowers, the man who murdered 11 people at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue.


A complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Washington Friday alleges that both Edward “Teddy” Clark and his brother Jeffrey “Raph” Clark were in touch with Bowers on the social media site Gab. Edward, 23, fatally shot himself hours after Bowers’ Oct. 27 shooting spree. Jeffrey, 30, was arrested Friday on charges of illegally possessing a firearm and high-capacity magazine. Per the complaint, two family members had notified the authorities about Jeffrey Clark’s increasingly “agitated” behavior in the wake of the Pittsburgh massacre and his brother’s suicide.

An affidavit from an FBI agent investigating the case focuses on the links between the brothers and Bowers, noting that the relatives who turned Jeffrey Clark into federal law enforcement “believed [Edward] may have been planning to commit an act of violence on the day that he died.”

Per the affidavit, Edward Clark committed suicide in DC “sometime before 12:45,” shortly after Bowers’ identity was revealed on social media, and he was found with two extra magazines of ammunition. Jeffrey Clark engaged in “unusual behavior” that day after discovering his brother missing, according to the affidavit.
