An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot a man in New York City’s Marble Hill neighborhood on Thursday afternoon, sending him to a local hospital while a 5-year-old child sat in the back of his SUV.
The New York City Police Department confirmed the shooting, which occurred shortly after 4 p.m., outside 2 Marble Hill Avenue, and said the man “is currently conscious and receiving medical attention.” The NYPD added that it was not involved in the operation and was not on scene at the time of the incident. The neighborhood is considered “either part of Upper Manhattan or at the southern edge of the Bronx,” according to the New York Times.
According to the New York Post, the man was “a suspected migrant gang member.”
The circumstances surrounding the shooting were not immediately clear. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire’s request for comment.
