  "account": "A man, Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, who was shot in the back by an immigration agent in Austin, Texas, now faces federal charges. According to a U.S. District Court filing, Perez allegedly struck the agent with his car mirror as he fled a traffic stop on September 20. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claims Perez assaulted, resisted, interfered with, and impeded a federal officer during the incident. The shooting occurred after Perez drove away from the agent, who was shot when his vehicle collided with Perez's. Three stills from the agent's body camera were released, depicting the confrontation. The agent, L.G., was positioned near the driver's side door of the stopped vehicle when Perez abruptly rolled up his window and started moving away. Following the incident, DHS alleges that Perez struck the agent in his torso during the chase.",
