Bodycam Footage Contradicts ICE Claims in Fatal Shooting of U.S. Citizen Ruben Ray Martinez

Newly obtained body camera footage from the March 2025 fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez appears to contradict federal claims that he was killed for accelerating towards and intentionally running over an agent. The video shows Martinez’s vehicle stationary or moving at a very low speed, with brake lights illuminated, when he was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. Despite ICE’s assertion that Martinez posed a deadly threat, the footage and witness accounts suggest his vehicle was not in motion aggressively and that he did not strike any officers. The incident, which resulted in Martinez being pulled from his car and handcuffed without immediate medical attention, is under scrutiny as a grand jury declined to return criminal indictments.
