The shooting took place on Tuesday evening in the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis. The woman who was shot has been identified as 36-year-old Maria Rodriguez.
According to the ICE agent involved, the shooting occurred during a targeted operation to apprehend a criminal suspect who was believed to be in the area. The agent claims that Rodriguez approached him in a suspicious manner and failed to comply with commands, leading him to discharge his firearm in self-defense. The video, which has not been released to the public, reportedly captures the confrontation between the agent and Rodriguez.
On the other hand, witnesses at the scene have provided a different account of the events. They claim that Rodriguez was unarmed and posed no threat to the agent at the time of the shooting.

The agency has stated that it will review all available evidence, including the video recorded by the ICE agent, to ascertain what transpired leading up to the fatal shooting.
As the investigation unfolds, tensions in the community remain high, with both supporters and critics of law enforcement closely following developments in the case.
