ICE agents shot a 28-year-old Dominican man during an operation in the Bronx, with a five-year-old child inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting.[^2]

Three separate outlets have reported the incident. All confirm the child was unharmed. Accounts agree on the man's age and nationality, and the location within the Bronx.[^3]

ICE division head Marcos Charles stated agents opened fire after the man rammed agency vehicles, saying personnel believed their lives and public safety were at risk.[^1]
