The Minneapolis city situation has flared up after an ICE agent shot a man in the leg who tried to flee a targeted traffic stop, says the Department of Homeland Security.

The shooting incident occurred in the 600 block of 24th Avenue North, just 12 miles north of where Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed last week.

Minneapolis ICE shooting: Here’s what actually happened

The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter) the officer fired the weapon after “fearing for his life and safety.”

The statement said the agents were conducting a traffic stop “of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022.”

The DHS detailed the operation of what actually caused the incident to turn into a shooting, claiming, “In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot.”

The department claimed that after the agent caught up with the man, he “began to resist and violently assault the officer.”

That resulted in an ambush by two other people appearing from a nearby apartment building who “also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.”

The DHS claimed it was a defensive shot by the federal agent, adding, “Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg.”

After one man received a shot, they fled from the scene back to the apartment and locked themselves inside but were apprehended by authorities, as reported by the Independent.

Both the detained officer and the Venezuelan man are being treated in the hospital, while the other two individuals are in detention.

On the other hand, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara called a protest that erupted in response to the shooting tonight unlawful and asked the protesters to disperse immediately.

The city police chief said, “It is well past the line, and people need to leave,” adding, “This is already a very tense situation, we do not need this to escalate any further.”

After the incident, there have been over 2,000 federal agents deployed in the city, as reported by NBC News.

The outlet also reported that, since the news broke, the situation has flared up in the city.

The DHS is claiming the operation in Minnesota is its biggest to date, with more than 2,400 people having been arrested since it began on November 29, 2025.

Chase Infiniti looked every bit the star as one of the ongoing awards season’s breakout stars, appropriately on hand to accept the Breakthrough Performance prize at the 2026 National Board of Review gala.

Held on January 13, the evening saw a number of stars arrive in New York City to honour the past year’s best releases and their cast members.

While the 25-year-old rising star sealed her award for her highly acclaimed turn in One Battle After Another, directed by Paul Thomas Anderon and also starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Benicio del Toro, among others.

To receive her honour, Chase donned a figure-hugging midi dress, woven to perfection and sourced from Oscar de la Renta’s Pre-Fall 2026 collection.

The young actress finished things with matching cream-coloured heels to go with her dress of the same shade.

Whereas at a closer glance, the ensemble further included intricate pearl work, with the tiny gems adorning the dress’s body and shoulder straps.

Meanwhile, some of the other films to be recognised at the latest National Board of Review event were Sinners, Train Dreams, and more.

Furthermore, Chase Infiniti was just one among her film’s cast to bag an award during the gala, with Leonardo DiCaprio also walking away with the best actor prize, while Benicio del Toro and Paul Thomas Anderson secured supporting actor and best director wins respectively.

Pete Davidson is officially stepping into podcasting, adding a new chapter to his ever-evolving career. 

The comedian and actor announced on Wednesday, January 14, that he is launching a new podcast titled The Pete Davidson Show, set to premiere later this month on Netflix.

According to a press release, the podcast will drop weekly and promises relaxed, candid conversations with Davidson at the center. 

The former Saturday Night Live star plans to film the show primarily from his garage, a setting he joked is “where all the best conservations happen”, while also taking the podcast on the road for select episodes.

The show is being teased as a space for open, unfiltered discussions, with Netflix describing it as featuring “candid, no-holds-barred conversations.”

Davidson explained why Netflix felt like the right home for the project, saying, “Netflix was the home of one of my first stand-up specials, so it felt right to bring the podcast there, too. It’s me and my friends talking about anything and everything. It’s going to be a great time.” 

His connection with the streamer runs deep. 

He first partnered with Netflix in 2020 for Pete Davidson: Alive from New York, followed by his 2024 stand-up special Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli. 

In between, he also curated and hosted Pete Davidson Presents: The Best Friends in 2022 as part of Netflix Is a Joke Fest.

The timing of the announcement marks a busy and meaningful period in Davidson’s life. 

Just one month ago, he and his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, welcomed their daughter, making this new venture part of a fresh personal and professional chapter.

The Pete Davidson Show is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on Friday, January 30, at 12:01 a.m. PT. 

With his signature humour, a familiar group of friends, and a laid-back format, the podcast is expected to give fans a closer look at Davidson beyond the stage, continuing his long-standing relationship with Netflix while offering something entirely new.
