Days after ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, another person was reportedly shot by an agent from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Wednesday, January 14. The DHS said in a statement that an officer “fired defensive shots to defend his life” after being attacked by the suspect.

The suspect was shot in the leg after they attacked the officer with a shovel during an arrest, the Associated Press reported, citing sources. The suspect ran as shots were fired. “I’m told by four law enforcement sources there has been another ICE involved shooting in Minneapolis tonight. I’m told ICE was making contact with a target who then allegedly assaulted an officer with a shovel or swung a shovel, shots were fired, and the suspect ran back to a house. No info yet on if anyone was actually shot - just that shots were fired. Very preliminary info - more as we get it,” Melugin wrote on X.
The suspect is believed to be Venezuelan, according to Melugin. They are in custody, and are reportedly stable. “I’m now told a suspect, believed to be Venezuelan, was indeed shot, but is okay/stable and is now in custody,” he wrote.
