NYPD Releases ICE Shooting Bodycam Footage

The NYPD’s video, which did not capture the shooting itself, showed two police officers showing up to a scene where a man was sitting on the ground, with one person holding on his neck to avoid further injury. 

One ICE officer, who was wearing a neon construction vest, an ICE badge and holding an assault rifle, was making a phone call and did not talk to the NYPD officers. 

While responding to the scene, one NYPD officer asked if the victim should be transferred to a hospital, but ICE officers did not respond to his question.

“Are we putting him in [the police vehicle] or what?” The police officer asked. Multiple police officers eventually lifted the person on the ground onto the police vehicle which drove to the nearest hospital.

Shortly after the shooting, social media videos taken from different angles on the scene also showed that the back window of a silver SUV was completely shattered and the front window was pierced by at least one bullet. A child was seen taken away from the shooting scene by a plainclothes officer.
