HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Federal Bureau of Investigation filed a search warrant to look through the van that was part of a deadly shooting involving a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, records show.<\/p>\n
The video above is from a previous report.<\/a><\/p>\n This comes as authorities said they saw “white crystal-like substance packaged in small plastic bags,” from outside of the van, according to documents.<\/p>\n The search warrant, which was filed July 14, states that “searches of the target vehicle will yield evidence of the crimes committed and violations of drug offenses.”<\/p>\n As the investigation continues into the deadly shooting, in the warrant the FBI said that the Department of Homeland Security told them ICE agents were trying to conduct a traffic stop on the “target vehicle,” but it refused to stop and drove over a median in an attempt to flee.<\/p>\n “Pursuant to ICE policy, the officers did not pursue the vehicle. The officers relocated the vehicle in the 6800 block of Canal Street,” the warrant states.<\/p>\n However, videos obtained by ABC13 showed two unmarked vehicles following the van on Wayside at Navigation, then turning onto Canal Street.<\/p>\n Following the deadly shooting, an FBI special agent says he “inspected the vehicle and observed in plain view several plastic bags with what appeared to be white crystal-like substances packaged in small plastic bags,” according to the warrant.<\/p>\n The FBI states that the bags were found in the middle of the dash, between the driver and passenger side of the vehicle, as well as on the passenger floorboard, and that “the packaging and appearance of the controlled substance in the target vehicle is consistent with methamphetamine.”<\/p>\n RELATED STORIES:<\/p>\n Man fatally shot by federal officer in Houston was not ICE target, DHS says<\/a><\/p>\n Clearer picture emerges of moments leading to deadly ICE shooting in Houston’s Magnolia Park<\/a><\/p>\n
