Carlitos Ricardo Parias, a South L.A. TikTok livestreamer known for tracking ICE raids, was shot in the elbow after federal agents tried to detain him Tuesday, officials said. Prosecutors charged him with assault on a federal officer, alleging he rammed agents’ vehicles while attempting to flee; a deputy U.S. marshal was injured by a ricochet. Video captured engine revving, white smoke, and a volley of bangs. Supporters—who credit Parias with informing residents and aiding local vendors—disputed the portrayal, while past footage shows prior attempts to arrest him.
