FBI reveals how mistaken identity by ICE led to chase, shooting of Venezuelan immigrant (Mpls)
Oh! for F**k sake!!!The FBI provided its most robust explanation of the car chase and alleged assault that led an ICE agent to shoot a Venezuelan immigrant at his north Minneapolis duplex on Jan. 14, including how a case of mistaken identity triggered the chain of events that culminated in hours of unrest that night.
In a sworn affidavit, FBI Special Agent Timothy Schanz provides details that contradict what U.S. Department of Homeland Security [DHS] officials initially stated — and later repeated for several days — about the highly charged encounter.
Schanz’s account shows how an attempted traffic stop by two ICE agents did not involve the man they ultimately shot, 34-year-old Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. The newly unsealed records more closely align with witness accounts provided to the Minnesota Star Tribune this week.
No information has been released about the agent who shot Sosa-Celis.
