Carlos Jimenez
Seriously injured · ICE · Ontario, California
What happened
Jimenez, 25, approached officers who were stopping another vehicle near his home. He was shot in the shoulder, drove himself to a hospital, and was later charged with assault on a federal officer. He pleaded not guilty; his lawyers said he was trying to warn officers they were blocking a school bus stop.
Resistance to arrest
Officials said Jimenez ignored orders to leave, then accelerated toward officers during a nearby stop—leading to assault-on-officer charges. His lawyers said he was warning about a school bus stop and trying to leave via a three-point turn. He was a U.S. citizen bystander, not the immigration arrest target.
Officer / agency involvement
Unnamed ICE officer shot Jimenez in the shoulder.
Official / DHS account
Federal officials said Jimenez failed to leave when ordered, then accelerated toward officers/the other vehicle, and an officer fired fearing he would be hit.
Contested points & other evidence
Defense account: warning about a school bus stop and an attempt to leave. Complaint alleged officer fear but did not specify officer injuries. Video status unclear in early reporting.
Investigation status
Criminal case pending (trial scheduled in reporting); released on bond.
