Venezuelan man shot by ICE in Austin said he tried to pull over before officers fired at him - The Texas Tribune

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan immigrant working as a DoorDash driver, was shot in the back by ICE agents in North Austin on Sunday, according to his account and his immigration lawyer, Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch.
Garces Perez said an unmarked SUV sideswiped his blue Toyota Camry twice before he realized ICE agents were trying to pull him over; the SUVs only turned on their lights and sirens after striking his car.
He said he asked to stop in a safer location than under a freeway underpass, but an agent refused, and he then felt a single shot to his back around 12:30 p.m.
He was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center, where staff reportedly declined to remove the bullet because it was too close to his spine; he was later transferred to the South Texas ICE Processing Center in Pearsall.
Speaking from detention, Garces Perez said he slept on a concrete cell floor and had not received needed medical care, later reporting a loss of feeling on his left side; U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, said a staffer encountered him at the facility.
Lincoln-Goldfinch said detention officers "handled Wilber roughly," handcuffing and shackling him before taking him to a hospital, while the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment on his account or medical care.
