Police in Chicago want to question two persons of interest in the Jussie Smollett case.

Anthony Guglielmi, the chief communications officer for the Chicago police, on Wednesday posted photos of "potential persons of interest" he says were in the area of the Empire actor's assault on Tuesday. The surveillance camera photos don't show the actual attack, and according to CNN, police have not yet been able to find photo or video of the assault itself.
