Federal authorities had accused Parias, a well-known TikTok streamer of local breaking news, of ramming his car into agents vehicles after they boxed him in and tried to arrest him during an immigration enforcement operation in South L.A. in October. An ICE officer opened fire, striking Parias in the arm and injuring a deputy U.S. marshal with a ricochet bullet.
That same day, prosecutors charged Parias with assault on a federal officer. In November, he was indicted by a grand jury. Parias was scheduled to go to trial on Tuesday.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, previously told the Times that Parias had weaponized his vehicle and said fearing for the safety of the public and law enforcement, our officers followed their training and fired defensive shots. But newly obtained body worn camera footage raises questions about that claim.
The video captures an ICE officer holding a gun in one hand and using the other to break open the window of Parias car. As the officer shouts at Parias to turn off the car, Parias raises his hands in the air and asks why he is being detained. The officer repeatedly tries to open the passenger side door, before moving the gun to his left hand, right before firing.
