Travis County District Attorney’s Office Releases Statement on Reported ICE Agent Shooting of a Community Member

A member of our community was shot by an ICE agent this afternoon. It is critical that all the facts come to light and that an independent investigation be completed.  We are requesting that the Austin Police Department and our office, the Travis County District Attorney, be co-equal partners in the investigation. We further request cooperation from the federal government in giving us access to the evidence. As has occurred in other jurisdictions, it is possible that this incident included violations of state law.
