Man Shot by Federal Agents in Manhattan

A man is hospitalized after being shot by ICE agents in Manhattan on October 8, 2026, at approximately 4 p.m. in the Marble Hill neighborhood. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that the officers were attempting to arrest the man, who is reportedly from the Dominican Republic. The man has not been publicly identified but has a history of convictions, including grand larceny, and prior arrests for assault, robbery, drug possession, and weapons possession. Video footage from the scene shows bullet holes in the windshield of a silver SUV. The New York City Police Department (NYPD) clarified via social media that they were not involved in the shooting and were not present at the scene. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani described the incident as "an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation" and stated he would demand an end to ICE enforcement actions in the city during a forthcoming conversation with the President. Mayor Mamdani also noted that early reports indicated federal agents surrounded the individuals and a 5-year-old child before firing multiple rounds. New York Governor Kathy Hochul expressed the need for immediate answers regarding the incident, criticizing the actions of federal agents. City Council Speaker Julie Menin voiced her deep concern over ICE's involvement and emphasized the need for a transparent account of the events. Federal authorities confirmed that the man had been arrested by the NYPD on December 7, 2023, and released shortly thereafter.
