  "account": "Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan national living in Austin, Texas, was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on September 20. His lawyer, Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, shared shocking details about the incident and the family's distress. Lincoln-Goldfinch stated that Perez's wife was hyperventilating after reports circulated that he had died. She explained that ICE custody officials initially refused to provide any information about Perez's whereabouts, leaving the family in a state of panic. The family was eventually informed that Perez had been released into ICE custody at around 4:30 p.m., but they still have not been able to locate him or determine his condition. Protesters gathered at the scene of the shooting, demanding transparency from federal authorities. Mayor Kirk Watson emphasized the need for answers and a thorough investigation into the incident.",
