What happened, for context

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.

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'.
