Newly released body camera footage shows the chaotic moments leading up to the fatal shooting of a US citizen by an immigration officer in Texas last year, which only recently came to light.
Gunfire rings out in the nighttime footage when Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, pulls his car forwards as law enforcement try to stop him on 15 March 2025 in the beach community of South Padre Island.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not publicly disclose an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer killed Martinez until the detail emerged in media last month.

NYPD releases bodycam footage of Columbia student arrest by ICE agents
The NYPD released bodycam footage leading up to the moment when ICE agents detained a Columbia University student inside university housing in February — an incident that sparked protest and controversy, especially over the way the school alleged the federal agents got inside.
The video released Friday showed two police officers responding to a 911 call of a "suspicious" person just after 6:30 a.m. on Feb. 26. The caller reported two men wearing dark clothing lingering inside a residential building owned by the university.
