"... our analysis of bystander footage, filmed from different angles, appears to show the agent was not in the path of the victim's SUV when he fired three shots at close range. The moment the agent fires, he is standing here to the left of the SUV and the wheels are pointing to the right away from the agent. This appears to conflict with allegations that the SUV was ramming or about to ram the officer."
"The SUV did move toward the ICE agent as he stood in front of it. But the agent was able to move out of the way and fire at least two of three shots from the side of the vehicle as it veered past him, according to the analysis. The Post has still-frame shots at the time of each of the three gun shots. The front left tire of the car appeared to be to the right of the agent."
Cellphone videos captured at the scene appear to show that no agents' lives were threatened and that the agent fired as the victim's car drove past him. Synchronized clips indicate the agent was not in the vehicle's path when he fired three shots and that his feet were positioned away from the SUV. Visual forensics find that the SUV moved toward the agent but the agent moved out of the way and fired at least two of three shots from the side as the vehicle veered past. Still-frame images show the front left tire positioned to the right of the agent.
