Brother identifies Dallas ICE shooting victim as 32-year-old Miguel Ángel García. He remains in critical condition after multiple gunshot wounds.
DALLAS, Texas — The family of one victim in this week’s deadly shooting at the ICE facility in Dallas says he remains in critical condition.
Miguel Ángel García suffered multiple gunshot wounds, according to his brother, Fernando Gutierrez, in an interview with Univision 23 Dallas-Fort Worth.
Originally from Mexico, García came to Arlington as a child and had lived in the U.S. for 20 years, most recently working as a painter.
He was being processed for deportation when he was shot, Gutierrez said.
Investigators say suspected gunman Joshua Jahn was targeting ICE agents, but instead struck three detainees, killing one and seriously wounding two others before taking his own life.
No law enforcement officers were injured in the shooting, which unfolded around 6:40 a.m. Wednesday at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office at 8101 North Stemmons Freeway in Dallas, off Interstate 35E.
FBI Director Kash Patel wrote in a post on X that the suspect had downloaded a document titled “Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management” containing a list of DHS facilities, conducted multiple searches of ballistics and the “Charlie Kirk Shot Video” between Sept. 23 and 24, and had searched apps that tracked the presence of ICE agents between Aug. 19 and 24.
Patel also wrote that one of the handwritten notes recovered read, “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?”
Gutierrez said his brother was shot in the side, back, stomach and neck, the last wound causing the most severe damage. He said García has undergone two surgeries and is now being kept alive by machines.
“His wife tells me, because the doctors hardly speak to me, that he’s very bad and they want to disconnect him or something like that. Because he’s only living on machines, the machine is what’s keeping him alive,” Gutierrez said.
ICE officials said the agency will tighten security at facilities nationwide. As the investigation continues, García’s family says his fight for life is far from over.
