Heavyweight
Minneapolis

Coming up, after being shot in the leg by an ICE agent, Julio Cesar Sosa Celis became national news.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

Since then, his family has been forced into hiding.

One week after Rene Good and a week and three days before Alex Preddy, another person in Minneapolis was shot by ICE agents.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

He was at his home when it happened.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

He was shot in the leg.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

It wasn't fatal, and the incident didn't get as much media attention.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

The man's name was Julio Cesar Sosa Celis.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

He was Venezuelan, and he had no criminal record.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

There are different accounts of what happened that night, but in a nutshell, the federal government claims Julio had been targeted for arrest, that he fled during a car chase, and that when he was caught, he was shot by an ICE agent in self-defense.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

The FBI says otherwise.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

Their investigation determined that Ice wasn't looking for Julio at all and that he was not a part of any chase.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

Julio's roommate was mistaken for someone else while driving, and he got into a car chase with Ice.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

The roommate led the agents back to the house he and Julio shared with their partners and their babies.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

Eyewitnesses say the shooting wasn't self-defense, that the men were fleeing into the house when shots were fired.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

At the end of the night, Julio and his partner, Indriani, were arrested.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

But the story I want to tell isn't about the shooting itself.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

I want to tell the story of the family Julio and Indriani left behind, what their life was like before that night, and what it's been like ever since.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

So far, Julio and Indriani's family in Minnesota haven't spoken with any journalists.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

But it turns out I have a connection to Indriani's mom, Yamilis.

Heavyweight
Minneapolis

It was a very tenuous connection, through friends of friends.
