3 things to know about the gunman killed outside White House who once called himself Jesus Christ

2. Judge issued a stay-away order after Best’s July 2025 arrest

During one of Nasire Best’s previous attempts to access the White House in July 2025, court documents cited by WUSA9 show he tried to use an exit turnstile to enter.

Following his arrest after he declared that he was Jesus Christ, Best was charged with unlawful entry.

A judge also issued a stay-away order barring him from the area surrounding the White House. A bench warrant was later issued after Best failed to appear for a hearing in August, CBS News reported.
