Man shot by ICE agent in Bronx, injuries not life-threatening

Summarised from 7 outlets · 8 reports · Updated 9 Oct, 00:55 · Archive

A man was shot by an ICE agent in the Marble Hill neighbourhood of the Bronx on Thursday afternoon and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A man was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in the Marble Hill neighbourhood of the Bronx on Thursday afternoon. The shooting occurred at around 4 p.m. local time near West 225th Street and Marble Hill Avenue. The man was taken to a nearby hospital and remains conscious, receiving medical attention. His injuries are not considered life-threatening, according to the NYPD.

The NYPD said it was not involved in the shooting and was not on scene at the time. An FBI official said the agency's evidence response team was assisting investigators from the US Department of Homeland Security, ICE's parent agency.

CBS News reports that preliminary information indicates ICE agents were attempting to take someone into custody when another person who was not the focus of the arrest was shot. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said that based on early reports a five-year-old child was in a car with the victim when multiple rounds were fired, though the child was not injured. Mamdani said he had called President Trump to demand that he end all ICE enforcement actions in the city.

Video from the scene showed numerous law enforcement personnel present, with a grey vehicle displaying a bullet hole in its windshield visible in the middle of the road. Local media reported that ICE was using a nearby Target car park on 225th Street as a staging area.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she had been briefed on the shooting. "We expect federal authorities to provide a full and transparent accounting of the circumstances surrounding this incident," she wrote on social media. "New Yorkers deserve to know exactly what happened and why."

The Guardian notes that the NYPD did not initially specify which federal agency carried out the shooting, and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to inquiries on Thursday evening. The Mirror reports that ICE agents have been held responsible for the killings of two US citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, in Minnesota earlier this year.

DW News notes that the shooting comes as the Trump administration has scaled up ICE raids in major US cities to detain and deport people in the country illegally. Details about what led to the shooting remain unclear, with investigations ongoing.
