The NYPD says it was not involved in the incident.
News 12 reached out to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and is awaiting a response.
Murad Awawdeh, president and CEO, New York Immigration Coalition released the following statement:
"ICE's violent tactics are a clear danger to all New Yorkers, as today's shooting in a residential neighborhood demonstrates. This incident is another reminder of the unchecked, rampant violence ICE has been spreading throughout our communities. We have seen the devastating consequences of ICE shootings from Minnesota to Texas, which have led to the unnecessary deaths of too many community members. We demand an immediate investigation into the shooting, the release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE agents who used excessive force. We must abolish ICE and strengthen the safety of all New Yorkers."
Multiple local lawmakers spoke out about the shooting on X.
