Overview
- Cook County’s report lists multiple gunshot wounds and a downward neck-to-chest trajectory, with one bullet lodging in the lower-right chest.
- The medical examiner notes close-range fire and records low levels of cocaine and apparent drug paraphernalia, findings the family disputes.
- DHS initially said an agent was dragged a significant distance and seriously injured, while local body-camera video captures the agent calling his injuries “nothing major.”
- Neither ICE agent wore a body camera, and no public surveillance video has shown the alleged dragging or the shooting.
- Notes from a county investigator cite an FBI role at the scene, though sources say DHS is handling follow-up, as Illinois officials and Mexico press for a transparent, independent probe.
