On Thursday afternoon in Marble Hill, New York City, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot Oscar Belgal, 28, once in the neck while Belgal's five-year-old child was in the car. The NYPD released body camera footage showing the aftermath of the incident where officers responded to the scene but were not involved in the shooting; they assisted in rushing Belgal to a hospital. ICE defended its actions, claiming Belgal refused to comply with lawful orders and had previously been unsuccessful in trying to detain him for immigration violations.

Story summary
On Thursday afternoon, around 4 p.m. in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx, a person was shot during an interaction with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The NYPD reported that the victim was conscious and taken to a nearby hospital, where they were receiving medical attention; their injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Multiple law enforcement sources indicated ICE agents had been attempting to take someone into custody when another individual, who was not the intended target, was shot. Video footage showed several federal agents at the scene, with one restraining an individual on the ground and a car with a bullet hole in its windshield.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul called for full transparency from federal authorities regarding the incident, stating that New Yorkers deserve to know what transpired. Eyewitnesses reported seeing ICE agents posing as construction workers prior to the shooting, which occurred near West 225th Street and Marble Hill Avenue.
The shooting took place days after local officials urged property owners to prohibit ICE agents from using a nearby parking lot for enforcement activities.
