SAN DIEGO — The FBI is investigating the founder of a San Diego-based security company for his alleged participation in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol, according to a cellphone search warrant affidavit filed in federal court Thursday.
Jonathan Humphreys, 27, has been under investigation for several months, since Google geolocation data placed at least one of his devices inside the Capitol the afternoon of the violent insurgence, the affidavit states. Investigators later identified a man they believe to be Humphreys on Capitol surveillance cameras, as well as body-worn camera footage from Washington, D.C., police and in images sent in by tipsters, according to the affidavit.
The FBI searched Humphreys’ University City condominium and pickup truck for evidence in November, court records show. The investigation is ongoing, and no charges have been filed.
