Description

New security footage released Monday shows for the first time the nearly deadly encounter when two people were shot by immigration agents last month.

The footage comes from Fora Health, a medical provider in East Portland, whose security cameras overlook the parking lot where a team of six U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents confronted Luis David Nino-Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, both immigrants from Venezuela.

(An OPB video editor has edited this footage with standard video editing software. OPB rotated the video slightly and zoomed in for clarity.)

The videos were provided to media organizations, including OPB, in an edited format. Fora Health said the footage was edited to protect patient and staff confidentiality. It is the only known video footage of the Jan. 8 shooting that left two people shot.

The two videos show a red pickup truck driving through a packed parking lot on Jan. 8, followed by a black sedan and a dark-colored van. The red truck parks, obscured by other parked cars, and the agents’ vehicles are slightly out-of-frame.

While the truck is parked, several Border Patrol agents array around it. There is no sound in the video, making it unclear how the agents began the encounter. According to court records, the agents used four unmarked vehicles during the stop.

Within seconds, the video shows, the truck went into reverse and appeared to back into the out-of-frame sedan. The driver, Nino-Moncada, then lurches the truck forward and backward in an attempt to angle the truck out of the encounter.

The truck then drives out of frame. Nino-Moncada and Zambrano-Contreras then drove to a nearby apartment complex and called 911, according to OPB’s previous reporting

It’s still unclear when exactly the Border Patrol agents opened fire. Nino-Moncada suffered a gunshot wound to the arm and Zambrano-Contreras had been shot in the chest.

Representatives with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Federal officials have maintained that they fired only after Nino-Moncada collided with the sedan. An attorney for Nino-Moncada declined to immediately comment Monday.

A spokesperson for Fora Health said in a statement that they released the footage Monday “in the interest of transparency” and had already shared the footage with federal investigators.

“Fora Health was not involved in the incident and is not offering any interpretation or commentary regarding the events depicted in the video,” spokesperson Joe Bugher said. “We defer entirely to the appropriate authorities to review the footage and determine any next steps.”

“We ask that the footage be viewed responsibly and with respect for all individuals impacted by this incident,” Bugher added.

Attorneys for both Nino-Moncada and Zambrano-Contreras declined to comment.
