State officials have confirmed that a man was killed after being shot by a federal agent in Minneapolis Saturday morning near 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue. This is the second fatal shooting involving a federal agent in Minneapolis this month. A third shooting injured an individual being pursued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, but the injuries were deemed non-lifethreatening.

Video of the incident shows a group of at least four agents restraining an individual and holding him on the ground. They appear to hit him with an object several times before an agent shoots the man. The other agents step back, and the individual on the ground remains motionless. Additional gunshots are heard, and one agent appears to continue to shoot in the direction of the man.

The man was transported from the scene, and Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed that he has died.

Details on the man, and what took place before the video shows agents wrestle him to the ground have not yet been released, though the Associated Press has reported that the man was 51 years old, and that, according to Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, he was armed.

Gov. Tim Walz said he has been in contact with the White House since the shooting. He wrote on X, “The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”
