An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot a man in the Bronx in New York City on Thursday. [E1]
The New York Police Department put the shooting at about 4 p.m. in the Marble Hill neighborhood, near West 225th Street and Marble Hill Avenue. [E11][E15]
Homeland Security, which runs the agency, confirmed "a targeted enforcement operation... to arrest a criminal illegal alien". [E2] The statement did not explain what led to the shooting. [E12]
New York mayor Zohran Mamdani told the BBC it was an "unconscionable and incredibly serious situation". [E4]
"Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a five-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed," he told the BBC. [E5]
In a statement, DHS added the man was alive and at a local hospital. [E3]
ABC7 reported that Mayor Mamdani, appearing with Commissioner Jessica Tisch, said he spent hours on the phone with President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin negotiating the release of the 28-year-old man. [E18] "Those negotiations were unsuccessful," he told a press conference. [E13]
Tisch told CBS the NYPD cameras did not capture the shooting, but based on evidence collected at the scene, at least one ICE agent discharged seven rounds, striking the driver in the neck below his left ear. [E16]
"ICE officers immediately rendered aid," DHS said. The FBI and Homeland Security Investigations were on the scene, and the incident remains under investigation. [E17]
DHS said the man was from the Dominican Republic and had "a prior criminal conviction for grand larceny, and multiple prior arrests for assault, robbery, possession of drugs, and weapons possession". [E9]
Late on Thursday evening, New York Governor Kathy Hochul told the BBC she had spoken to President Donald Trump about the shooting and had expressed "outrage on behalf of New Yorkers". [E6]
"I also asked that any body camera footage of the shooting be released to the public so we can establish the facts and get to the truth," she told the BBC. [E7]
Trump has not yet commented publicly on the shooting. [E8]
Standing outside the hospital, Murad Awawdeh, the president of the New York Immigration Coalition, told the Guardian he wanted to see an independent investigation into the shooting led by New York officials. [E14]
A group of protesters gathered at the scene on Thursday evening, chanting "we want justice" and "ICE off our streets now". [E10]
Gothamist said police took five people into custody as protests swelled Thursday night after Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers shot a man in northern Manhattan. [E22] ABC7 said four of those protesters were arrested on charges of obstructing governmental administration and were issued court appearance tickets. [E23] The two police counts differ.
Gothamist said officers made the arrests near West 120th Street and Broadway, where about 200 protesters gathered following the shooting of Oscar Belgal. [E24]
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams told ABC7, "They're going to try to make the gentleman they shot the worst human being you've ever heard of. But I want you to know that a father picking up his child was shot by a rogue agency controlled by Donald Trump." [E19]
CBS reported that Mamdani said ICE "put the man in an unmarked vehicle and whisked him away." [E20]
Gothamist said that as of Friday morning Belgal remained in federal custody. [E21]
