The Justice Department filed assault charges Tuesday against a Venezuelan immigrant who was shot and killed by a federal immigration agent in Austin.
An unsealed affidavit says the man, Wilber Garcés Pérez, struck a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in the torso with his vehicle’s rearview mirror while fleeing the scene of a traffic stop on September 20. He then led that officer and another on what was described as a high-speed chase.
