Minneapolis — Two versions have emerged of Wednesday night's shooting in north Minneapolis in which a Venezuelan migrant was shot in the leg by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer while allegedly trying to flee. The migrant and two others were arrested.

Cell phone footage shared on social media by Democratic state Sen. Erin Maye Quade appears to show the moments after Wednesday's shooting took place, in which a woman calls 911 and can be heard pleading for help.

The caller says her husband was chased by ICE agents before he reached his home, and was shot in front of his family.
