Venezuelan driver shot by ICE

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, 28, was delivering for DoorDash in Austin on Sunday when an ICE officer shot him. He still has a bullet lodged near his spine.

“I am not doing well due to the gunshot wound, and I have not received the medical attention that I require.”

Victim disputes government account

Garces Perez says there was no foot chase as DHS claimed. He says ICE officers never turned on lights or sirens before side-swiping his vehicle and shooting him.

“There was no foot chase. I never got out of the vehicle until I had to get out.”

Officers never signaled, he says

Garces Perez claims ICE officers approached in an SUV without warning, side-swiped him, and only turned on lights after the collision. He never knew they were law enforcement.

“An SUV rode next to him and tried to hit him. He thought it was like an aggressive driver.”

Trying to comply when shot

Garces Perez says he did a U-turn to find a safe place to pull over so he could comply with detention. Officers then rammed him and opened fire while he was still in the car.

“He asked the ICE officer if he could please pull over so that they could detain him.”

Bullet left in his spine

Doctors told Garces Perez they left the bullet inside because it was too close to his spine. He says he is in severe pain and has not received adequate medical care.

“I have not received the medical attention that I require.”

Transferred to detention facility

Garces Perez was moved to Pearsall detention facility, 130 miles from Austin, around 4 a.m. Monday. His lawyer Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch had not been told of his whereabouts until then.

Lawyer says he was in country legally

Lincoln-Goldfinch says Garces Perez was in the country legally and had applied for asylum, contradicting DHS's claim that he was an illegal alien with a deportation order.

Mayor condemns ICE conduct

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said he is very angry and disappointed that ICE shot someone on Austin's streets, calling the agency rogue and chaotic.

“This has happened in other cities. With the rogue nature of ICE and the chaos we're seeing fomented by ICE, there's no reason to be surprised.”

City police blocked from investigation

Austin Councilmember Mike Siegel says ICE and Homeland Security Investigations controlled the entire crime scene and prevented city police from conducting their own investigation.

“The crime scene was entirely controlled by ICE, HSI, as well as state police.”

No body camera footage released

DHS has not said whether ICE officers were wearing body-worn cameras during the shooting, and has not provided a full accounting of what happened.

Video shows aftermath of shooting

Witness video obtained by ABC News shows Garces Perez hunched over in his driver's seat with a gunshot wound on his back as ICE officers surround the car.

Council working to keep officer in Texas

Austin Councilmember Siegel is working with city officials to ensure the ICE officer who shot Garces Perez is not allowed to leave Texas pending investigation.
