  • The circumstances preceding the shooting: whether ICE vehicle sideswiped Garces Perez's car before the shooting or whether there was a foot pursuitstated by cbc.ca states: 'agents sideswiped car' before shooting, washingtonexaminer.com states: 'ICE vehicle sideswiped his car before an officer shot Garces Perez' but also notes 'Austin police, however, have said the shooting followed a brief foot pursuit', local3news.com states: 'Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said video taken by an off-duty Austin Police Department detective indicated there was a pursuit between ICE and Garces Perez before the shooting', foxnews.com states: 'The truck chased him and sideswiped him again. And the agents came out and shot him in the back of the neck' (attorney's account), wfmd.com states the same as foxnews.com · absent from washingtonexaminer.com notes police account contradicts attorney's account, dentonrc.com states the video and police chief's description 'appear to conflict with the initial version of the story told by Garces Perez through his attorney', kut.org states the same conflict
  • The location of the bullet wound: 'upper back' versus 'back of the neck' versus 'upper torso'stated by cbc.ca: 'bullet lodged in his back', washingtonexaminer.com: 'bullet lodged in his back and that he had also been treated for a suspected fractured collarbone' and 'shot in the upper back, just below the neck', theatlantic.com: 'bullet lodged in his upper torso', foxnews.com: 'shot him in the back of the neck', wfmd.com: 'shot him in the back of the neck'

  • Judge Orlando L. Garcia's appointment: washingtonexaminer.com and bbc.co.uk both describe him as 'a Clinton appointee.' Verify this is accurate and complete; no other outlet specifies his nominating president.
  • Body camera requirement for ICE officers: theatlantic.com states 'Officers making arrests are required to have the cameras at all times.' Verify whether this reflects ICE policy at the time of the September 20 shooting.
  • ICE fatal shootings in July: theatlantic.com references 'the fatal shootings in July of a Mexican construction contractor in Texas and a Colombian delivery driver in Maine.' Verify these incidents occurred and match the description.
  • Off-duty APD detective video evidence: dentonrc.com and kut.org report that video was taken by an off-duty APD detective using personal cellphone and dashcam, showing a vehicle pull-over on Anderson Square and later sounds of gunshots. Verify whether this video evidence exists in official incident records.
