Christopher W. Ortiz, of Huntington, New York, recorded video of a man scaling the U.S. Capitol at about 2:32 p.m. during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, then entered the building himself through the parliamentarian door near the Northwest Courtyard at about 2:47 p.m., yelling "Onward! Onward!" with other rioters before exiting roughly eight minutes later; a high school friend and a former coworker separately alerted the FBI after seeing his Instagram posts about the day.
