Reported unevenly
- Whether Garces Perez had a final order for removal from the countrystated by local3news.com (law enforcement source says he had a final order), twincities.com (DHS statement says he had a final order), npr.org (DHS statement says he had a final order) · absent from dw.com (Lincoln-Goldfinch said he had no final order to be removed), local3news.com (Lincoln-Goldfinch's statement contradicts law enforcement source; also reports what the Associated Press later cited her saying about not knowing his current immigration status)

Not yet confirmed against a primary source
- Confirm whether Garces Perez had a final order for removal: DW.com quotes Lincoln-Goldfinch saying he had no final order (and separately cites her saying she did not know his current immigration status); local3news.com cites a law enforcement source saying he had a final order; twincities.com and npr.org cite DHS statement saying he had a final order. Which of these sources most accurately represents his legal status at the time of the incident?
- Confirm whether the shooting occurred immediately after a traffic stop or after a traffic stop followed by a brief foot pursuit: cbc.ca, courant.com, and twincities.com state it 'occurred after a traffic stop'; dw.com and scmp.com explicitly mention 'brief foot pursuit' in addition. Do the law enforcement accounts distinguish between these or are they describing the same sequence?
