Jimenez told the court he was shot as he was backing up during a three-point turn to drive away, after an officer approached him with a gun and he was told to leave. The San Bernardino County Sentinel reported that part of his account in its own words. The quoted question is what Jimenez said he asked when the armed officer approached.
“Are you really going to shoot an American citizen?”

Why we used this label
His account directly challenges the characterization that he drove at the agent in a way that justified deadly force.
ICE officer Eusebio Ortiz shot Carlos Jimenez during an immigration operation in Ontario. The government says Jimenez reversed toward an officer; his lawyers say he was leaving. Court filings exposed evidence and interview disputes.
