US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have revealed that the agent responsible for shooting a Venezuelan delivery driver was not wearing a body camera at the time of the incident, according to sources familiar with the ongoing investigation.
The information was disclosed to CBS News, which reported that the absence of body-worn camera footage has become a significant point of focus in the review of the shooting.
The victim, identified as a Venezuelan national working as a delivery driver, was struck by gunfire during an encounter with federal immigration agents.
While the specific details regarding the circumstances leading up to the discharge remain under scrutiny, the lack of visual evidence from the officer’s perspective has raised questions about the transparency of the case.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident, with the findings regarding the body camera status expected to play a central role in the official account of the events.
