New court documents verified the off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent involved in the New Year's Eve Northridge shooting that took the life of Keith Porter Jr. The filings have identified the agent as Brian Palacios.
The court documents, which were submitted by the ex-husband of Palacios' current partner, further reveals that Palacios kept firearms inside his home, as shared by ABC 7. This was contested by Palacios' attorney Stacie Halpern who said that investigation by law enforcement and the Department of Children and Family Services revealed 'they were unable to find anything that corroborated the allegations and deemed them unfounded.' Halpern claims that her client's actions on the night of the shooting were in self-defence.
