A person was shot by ICE officers Thursday afternoon in an Upper Manhattan neighborhood, three law enforcement sources familiar with the matter said.
The shooting happened during an ICE enforcement operation along Marble Hill Avenue around 4 p.m., those sources said.
One source said the person shot was apparently in a vehicle when at least one officer opened fire. That person was expected to survive.
A massive law enforcement investigation surrounded a black sedan believed to be the vehicle where the person was shot. One senior official said a 5-year-old child was in the back seat of the car at the time of the incident.
Multiple law enforcement sources said the team of ICE agents were in the neighborhood looking for a man with a criminal record. One senior official said the suspect had a past robbery arrest resulting in a grand larceny conviction and a current open drug case.
Homeland Security and the FBI are responding to the scene in addition to the NYPD, who confirmed the shooting by “federal law enforcement agents” in a post on X.
“The NYPD was not involved in the incident and was not on scene at the time of the shooting. The individual who was shot is at a nearby hospital and is currently conscious and receiving medical attention,” the NYPD said.
Gov. Kathy Hochul said she had been briefed on the shooting and that she expected a detailed report from federal authorities as to what happened Thursday afternoon.
“We expect federal authorities to provide a full and transparent accounting of the circumstances surrounding this incident. New Yorkers deserve to know exactly what happened and why,” the governor wrote on X.
