Minnesota BCA investigates after ICE agent shoots man in the leg
Key Points:
- The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is independently investigating an incident where an ICE agent shot a man in the leg in Minneapolis on Wednesday night.
- According to DHS, the man, from Venezuela, fled a targeted traffic stop, crashed his vehicle, and was involved in a struggle with law enforcement, during which two other individuals attacked an officer, prompting the agent to fire defensive shots.
- The man shot in the leg is hospitalized with a non-life-threatening injury, and two other individuals involved are in custody; the officer is also hospitalized.
- This shooting follows another recent incident where an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good, with the FBI leading that investigation and restricting BCA access to evidence and agent statements.
