The victim was a Dominican national with ties to the Trinitarios gang and a conviction for grand larceny, as stated by the Department of Homeland Security. He was in a car with a 5 year old child when agents fired multiple rounds, though Mayor Zohran Mamdani reported the child was physically unharmed. A CBS News analysis identified this as one of at least 30 DHS officer-involved shootings under the second Trump administration. Mamdani has called for the abolition of ICE and demanded that the president end all federal immigration enforcement in New York City.
