'You Just Killed My F**king Neighbor!' Eyewitness Describes Deadly ICE Shooting
HuffPost
The victim appeared "obviously scared" and "was going to leave," Emily Heller told HuffPost.
The woman who was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Wednesday in Minneapolis seemed “obviously scared” and was trying to leave, an eyewitness to the killing told HuffPost, disputing government claims that the ICE agent acted in self-defense.
Emily Heller, 39, stepped outside her home around 9:30 a.m. after hearing whistles and honking by community members who were alerting their neighbors about ICE agents’ presence. Heller said she saw a woman in a vehicle blocking a convoy of six or seven ICE vehicles on a one-way street.
“The ICE agents got out of their vehicles and were screaming at her to ‘move, move, move,’” Heller said. “She wasn’t moving at first, and then they came over to her side of the car and tried to open the door, I assume to drag her out.”
“She was obviously scared — she was going to leave,” Heller said. “She reversed a little bit and then started to move forward. And as she was starting to move forward, one of the ICE agents stood in front of her car, leaned across her hood and then fired three or four shots right into, it seemed like, her face.”
Other eyewitness videos corroborate Heller’s account. One, which shows a clear view of the driver’s side of the vehicle, shows multiple armed agents approaching the victim and attempting to open the driver’s door. The vehicle begins to leave when one of the officers fires multiple shots.
