New Footage Reveals Border Patrol Dropped Partially Blind Refugee at Closed Store Before His Death

Security camera footage reviewed by The Washington Post shows Border Patrol agents dropping off a partially blind Rohingya refugee at a closed coffee shop in Buffalo on the night of February 19. Nurul Amin Shah Alam, 56, was found dead five days later about five miles away.

Video from a Tim Hortons parking lot shows a white van arriving shortly after 8 p.m., more than an hour after the store had closed. A man matching Shah Alam's clothing exits the van and walks slowly past the drive-through window. About six minutes later, he leaves the lot on foot. The footage does not show him entering the store.
