An ICE officer in Austin shoots a Venezuelan man on Sunday, leaving a bullet lodged in his back, according to multiple reports. Two officials at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security tell NBC News that the officer was issued a body camera but was not wearing it during the shooting.
The Atlantic adds additional context about the officer’s background, reporting that the officer was hired last year from another federal law-enforcement agency. Both outlets focus on the circumstances surrounding whether the body camera was used during the incident, while the available information centers on statements by government officials and the officer’s employment history.
