The NYPD said the victim was taken to a local hospital and was conscious, but provided no further information about the victim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., told The Intercept that there was a child in the car and that the child is OK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds,\u201d New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/nycmayor\/status\/2108332127318073528?s=46\">statement<\/a>. \u201cWe believe the child was physically unharmed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A neighbor, Iris Rosa, said the shooting happened just as a nearby school was being let out. After hiding in a store for a few minutes, she said she went to look at the scene and said it looked like agents had shot into a car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The victim, Rosa said, was on the ground bleeding and being held down by the agents. A baby, she said, was in the car and was held by ICE agents until someone picked the child up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photos of the aftermath of the shooting, taken by a neighbor and obtained by The Intercept, show apparent government agents in plain clothes and tactical vests pinning a man on the asphalt. Another man in a high-visibility vest is clutching an assault rifle while holding a phone between his check and shoulder. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-ft-photo is-style-default\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_1312.jpg?fit=1600%2C1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_1312.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/theintercept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_1312.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/theintercept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_1312.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/theintercept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_1312.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/theintercept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_1312.jpg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/theintercept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_1312.jpg?w=540 540w, https:\/\/theintercept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_1312.jpg?w=1000 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1300px) 650px, (min-width: 800px) 64vw, (min-width: 500px) calc(100vw - 5rem), calc(100vw - 3rem)\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"photo__figcaption\">\n      <span class=\"photo__caption\">The aftermath of a shooting, reportedly by ICE agents, of a vehicle in New York City on Oct. 8, 2026.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"photo__credit\">Obtained by The Intercept<\/span>    <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rosa, the neighbor, said a man with a high-visibility vest appeared to be posing as a construction worker, but as she watched, Rosa told The Intercept, the man took the vest and put it in a nearby vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ICE agents <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2025\/08\/11\/ice-agent-caught-on-camera-disguised-as-a-construction-worker\/\">routinely pose as construction workers<\/a> in order to stakeout targets for immigrations. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Representatives of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, ICE, and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The victim is the latest of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/07\/08\/us\/immigration-agent-shootings-vehicles.html\"> at least 25 people <\/a>to be shot by federal immigration agents this year.
