An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in the Marble Hill neighborhood of New York City resulted in the shooting of Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old Dominican national. During the attempt to arrest Belgal, at least one agent fired seven rounds at his vehicle, striking him in the neck. A five-year-old child was present in the backseat but escaped physical injury. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) defended the agents, stating that Belgal used his vehicle as a weapon by accelerating toward officers and striking two official vehicles. DHS officials noted they were unaware a child was in the car at the time of the shooting, though they later asserted that Belgal was aware of the child’s presence and chose to flee, thereby endangering them. ~~DHS also~~ Federal authorities identified Belgal as ~~an undocumented immigrant with~~ a ~~criminal record including convictions for theft, assault, and armed robbery.
