depending on the user's settings,possibly otherson the Snapchatplatform .The tipster is friends

withMARQUEZ ontheSnapchatplatform,andknowsthatMARQUEZ'SSnapchatusernameis

ThisisascreenshotofM ARQUEZ'Sfacefrom thevideo:

12. This Snapchatvideo is consistent w ith othcrvideos lhave reviewed from m edia

reports as wellas other investigations l have conducted into the incident at the U.S.Capitol.

Therefore,lhave probable cause to believe the end of this video depicts individuals,including

M ARQUEZ,who entered the U.S.Capitolbuilding on January 6,2021,and thatM ARQUEZ

film ed the video.

Accordingtoalaw cnforcementdatabasesearch,M ARQUEZ ownsawhite2020
