Feds say TikToker shot by ICE had previously escaped. A video casts doubt
Source: LA Times
The six armed federal agents loomed around their detained suspect, Carlitos Ricardo Parias, who was handcuffed and sitting on the sidewalk, moaning as he held his right leg.
A small crowd had gathered around them on that day in June, according to video of the incident. Three civilians are seen helping Parias, 44, a well-known TikTok streamer, to his feet and walking him to a car, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and deputy marshals watch. Parias is limping and holding his leg.

One agent blocks one of the men helping Parias by the car door, but quickly relents. The men then drive away, with Parias still wearing handcuffs on his wrists.
The video of the aborted detention reviewed by the Times contradicts public accounts by Department of Homeland Security officials, who said Parias had “previously escaped from custody.” It raises questions of why the agents appeared to willingly let a suspect go, ultimately setting off a sequence of events that ended in a shooting that wounded Parias and a deputy marshal last week.
