[FOX 9] A man from Venezuela was shot by ICE in north Minneapolis Wednesday night after federal officials say they attacked an officer following a traffic stop. This comes exactly a week after an ICE officer fatally shot Renee Good.
The Department of Homeland Security in a statement Wednesday night said federal officers were conducting "a targeted traffic stop" around 6:50 p.m. on Jan. 14. The shooting happened on the 600 block of 24th Avenue North in Minneapolis, which is about 4.5 miles from where Renee Good was fatally shot on Jan. 7.
DHS said in a statement federal law enforcement officers stopped a person from Venezuela who was in the U.S. illegally. The person drove away and crashed into a parked car before taking off on foot, DHS said. After officers reached the person, two other people arrived from a nearby apartment and all three started attacking the officer, according to DHS.
