Who is David Gonzalez? Off-duty ICE agent shot after allegedly assaulting 72-year-old man and daughter at Fresno home

David Gonzalez, a 32-year-old off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, was arrested after allegedly attacking a woman and her 72-year-old father on their California lawn, police said. The incident occurred early Friday in Fresno. The woman had returned home to find Gonzalez sleeping on her front lawn, according to the Fresno Police Department.

When her father, with whom she lived, confronted him, Gonzalez awoke, appeared intoxicated and agitated, and allegedly assaulted both the father and the woman, police said.

The daughter tried to intervene on her father's behalf, at which point Gonzalez physically attacked her, causing her to go to the ground, police said. The woman's father then produced a gun and fired one shot, striking Gonzalez in the midsection, according to police. Fresno officers responded to several 911 calls reporting the shooting and found Gonzalez handcuffed with a gunshot wound, police said. He was transported for treatment.

Gonzalez is currently in custody on felony assault charges, police said. The woman and her father's injuries are being evaluated, and they have not been named by police. The 72-year-old man who shot Gonzalez is not facing criminal charges, as he feared for the safety of both himself and his daughter, police said. The man legally possessed the firearm used in the incident.

Fresno police determined Gonzalez to be an off-duty ICE agent. It is unclear why he was in the area at the time of the incident, but police confirmed he was off-duty and alone. Gonzalez's attorney and the reason for his presence in Fresno remain unknown. The investigation is ongoing, and detectives are seeking additional witnesses for video footage.
