A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent has shot a man in his car in the Bronx in New York City while the man’s five-year-old son sat in the backseat.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which runs ICE, confirmed an officer discharged his weapon while attempting to arrest a „criminal illegal alien“ on Thursday.
The man, later identified as 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, was alive and at a local hospital, officials said.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the ICE officer fired „multiple rounds“ into the car with a child inside, calling it an „unconscionable and incredibly serious situation“. The BBC has contacted DHS for comment about Mamdani’s remarks.
The DHS said Belgal 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“.
It also claimed Belgal was associated with a transnational criminal group.
