The shooting occurred on March 15, 2025, while HSI agents were assisting with traffic redirection following a vehicle accident. According to an internal ICE report, agents claimed the driver of a blue Ford failed to follow verbal commands and accelerated toward an officer. The document states a supervisory agent then fired multiple rounds through the driver-side window. This account is being challenged by the family’s legal counsel, who asserts that eyewitness testimony contradicts the federal version of events.
Rachel Reyes, the victim’s mother, described her son as a non-violent Amazon warehouse worker who had no criminal history and was out to celebrate his birthday. The revelation has fueled broader criticism of the Department of Homeland Security, with lawmakers including Representative Greg Casar and Representative Delia Ramirez demanding accountability. The incident is currently under review by the Texas Rangers, though officials state no further information is available. Critics argue this case is part of a recurring pattern of federal agencies obscuring details regarding lethal encounters with civilians.
