Overview
- U.S. District Judge Fernando M. Olguin threw out the case with prejudice, blocking any refiling of the assault and property‑damage counts.
- He found Parias was effectively denied meaningful access to counsel while held at ICE’s remote Adelanto facility, which hindered trial preparation.
- The court also faulted prosecutors for late discovery, including producing the shooter’s body‑worn camera video after the deadline.
- Body‑camera footage reported by news outlets shows an officer breaking a car window as Parias raised his hands and then saying, “I shot, I shot,” prompting questions about the official account.
- Parias remains in immigration custody as separate proceedings continue, while the U.S. Attorney’s Office says it strongly disagrees with the ruling and is weighing appellate options.
