A 28-year-old Venezuelan man, Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, was shot by an ICE officer in Austin, Texas on Sunday, September 20, 2026, while working as a DoorDash driver. A federal judge temporarily blocked his deportation on September 22, 2026, ordering him to appear for a hearing on September 30. The shooting circumstances remain contested, with accounts differing on whether a foot pursuit preceded the gunfire.

Reported unevenly
- Whether a foot pursuit preceded the shootingstated by local3news.com ("Austin police... have said the shooting followed a brief foot pursuit"), dentonrc.com ("video taken by an off-duty Austin Police Department detective indicated there was a pursuit between ICE and Garces Perez before the shooting"), kut.org ("video taken by an off-duty APD detective indicated there was a pursuit between ICE and Garces Perez prior to the shooting") · absent from cbc.ca (Garces Perez's attorney states he was delivering food when agents sideswiped car, with no mention of pursuit), bbc.co.uk (does not mention a pursuit), washingtonexaminer.com (Garces Perez's attorney states ICE vehicle sideswiped his car; notes 'Austin police, however, have said the shooting followed a brief foot pursuit. The circumstances remain under investigation.'), fox7austin.com, foxnews.com (states Garces Perez made a U-turn under the highway before ICE agents pursued him)
- Location of the gunshot wound on Garces Perez's bodystated by cbc.ca ("bullet lodged in his back"), washingtonexaminer.com ("bullet in his upper back, just below the neck" and later "bullet was still lodged in his back"), bbc.co.uk ("bullet in his back"), cbsaustin.com (not explicitly stated in excerpt), houstonpublicmedia.org ("bullet from Sunday's shooting is still lodged in his body near the back of his neck"), kut.org ("shot in the back"), texasstandard.org ("bullet from Sunday's shooting is still lodged in his body near the back of his neck") · absent from fox7austin.com (states shot "in the back of the neck"), foxnews.com (states shot "in the back of the neck"), wfmd.com (states shot "in the back of the neck")

Not yet confirmed against a primary source
- Confirm whether the hearing is scheduled for San Antonio (dentonrc.com, houstonpublicmedia.org, kut.org, texasstandard.org) or whether it is scheduled only in person in Texas without location specification (bbc.co.uk, washingtonexaminer.com claim only 'Texas' and 'person').
- Confirm the precise location of the gunshot wound: 'upper back just below the neck' (washingtonexaminer.com), 'back of the neck' (fox7austin.com, foxnews.com, wfmd.com), or 'upper torso' (theatlantic.com); theatlantic.com states 'left side paralysis/numbness' suggesting neurological trauma, which may clarify wound trajectory.
- Clarify whether Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis characterized the incident on Tuesday as including a 'pursuit' (dentonrc.com, kut.org: 'indicated there was a pursuit') and whether video evidence shows Garces Perez pulling over vs. being intercepted, given washingtonexaminer.com notes the narratives 'appear to conflict'.
