A Venezuelan national who was shot and wounded by a US immigration agent in Texas was jailed while a bullet remained inside his body, his lawyer said, according to the South China Morning Post. Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, 28, told reporters that he had been delivering an order for DoorDash on Sunday when his vehicle was rammed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. He said the agent then shot him.
Garces Perez said the bullet fractured his clavicle and that doctors at the hospital where he was taken could not remove it because it was close to his spinal cord. He described himself as being in significant pain. The available report does not provide the agent’s account, explain why the vehicle was rammed or give details of any investigation.
It also does not state where Garces Perez was jailed or whether charges were filed.
