DHS said the man, who was described as an illegal immigrant, had a prior grand larceny conviction and previous arrests involving assault, robbery, drug possession and weapons possession. The agency also alleged that he had ties to the Trinitarios gang.

This is the kind of guy you are clutching pearls for?
We've heard so many BS lies from this administration immediately in the wake of mall cop shootings about the alleged misdeeds of the alleged perps that you can't believe anything they say without corroboration.
Also, as is always the case with these shootings, none of the charges on his alleged rap sheet merit instantaneous capital punishment.
DHS Debunks New York Sanctuary Politicians' Lies About ICE Shooting of Illegal Alien Gang Member, Condemns Sanctuary New York for Refusing to Honor Nearly 15,000 ICE Detainers

On October 8, at approximately 4:00 PM ET, ICE officers were conducting a targeted enforcement operation in the Bronx, New York, to arrest Oscar Bengal, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic. His criminal history includes a prior criminal conviction for fourth-degree grand larceny: property taken from person, and prior arrests for first-degree robbery: forcible theft armed with a deadly weapon, criminal sale of a controlled substance: narcotic drug, possession of stolen property, and assault.
ICE officers attempted to arrest Bengal and used their vehicles to block him in. He refused lawful orders to exit his vehicle, then accelerated and smashed into two government vehicles. He then weaponized his vehicle and accelerated toward other officers. The officers, believing that their lives and the lives of their partners and the general public were in danger, used their training and fired their weapons. Bengal was superficially struck by one of the bullets or fragments in the neck. He stopped his vehicle, at which point ICE officers arrested him, rendered first aid, and then took him to the hospital. Because of his lengthy criminal history and history of fleeing law enforcement, ICE placed him in a detention facility outside the state of New York.
Well done ICE
