TX: ICE gang member who shot DoorDash drive wasn’t wearing issued bodycam

“The ICE [gang member] who shot a Venezuelan man in Austin, Texas, on Sunday had been issued a body camera but was not wearing it at the time, two Department of Homeland Security officials told NBC News. According to NBC News, officials said it remains unclear why the [gang member] was not wearing the camera while another ICE [gang member] at the scene had a bodycam that captured part of the incident, but not the shooting itself. Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez, 28, was shot while working as a DoorDash driver and later [abducted by the ICE gang]. His lawyer said the bullet remains lodged in his back. A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked deportation proceedings against Garcés Pérez.” (09/23/26)
