Man Shot by ICE Agent in Austin Is Charged With Assault
Prosecutors say Wilber Garces Perez struck an agent with his car’s mirror before another agent shot him. The charge reveals the existence of body camera footage of the shooting, though that video has not been released.
What the coverage shows
All four outlets center on the federal charges against the Venezuelan delivery driver shot by an ICE agent in Austin. CBS News and ABC News frame the case most directly as a prosecution, while the New York Times adds that the charge points to body camera footage that has not been released. Newsweek is alone in foregrounding an agent’s account that the man drove away and struck a colleague.
