Man killed in ICE shooting was not the target of an arrest warrant, according to senator's office 
New videos out revealing key moments 
connected to a deadly ICE involved 
shooting in Maine. In one video, you see 
a white vehicle driving in a circle as 
an agent attempts to grab the door. It's 
unclear if this was before or after 
shots were fired. 
In another video, you can hear that 
fire. And in this video, you see what 
appears to be federal agents pulling out 
the limp body of a man, his hands then 
placed behind his back. In a stunning 
development, independent Senator Angus 
King issued a statement saying the 
victim of today's federal law 
enforcement shooting was not the target 
of the warrants. King's spokesperson 
telling NBC News the Secretary of 
Homeland Security called King to tell 
him the news. Minutes later, DHS 
released this statement saying in part, 
"ICE was conducting targeted 
surveillance on the last known address 
of an individual with a final order of 
removal. An individual who was not here 
legally departed the residence vehicle." 
Quote, "The vehicle attempted to flee 
the scene and fearing for public safety, 
an officer discharged his weapon." 
Adding, "The driver of the vehicle was 
struck and passed away from his 
injuries." An immigrant rights 
organization told NBC News it identified 
the man killed as a 26-year-old from 
Colombia. Adding, "He was authorized to 
work in the United States having been 
issued a social security number." News 
of the fatal shooting sent scores of 
protesters marching through the streets 
of Maine. NBC News reached out to 
Maine's Attorney General for comment on 
Senator King's latest statement. They 
previously said a deportation officer 
would be placed on leave per standard 
protocol.
