37-year-old Norlan Guzman-Fuentes killed in Dallas ICE facility shooting
DALLAS, Texas — A deadly shooting unfolded early Wednesday morning at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, leaving one detainee dead and two others critically wounded.
The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after law enforcement closed in.
The incident occurred around 6:40 a.m. at the ICE office located at 8101 North Stemmons Freeway, near Interstate 35E.
According to officials, Jahn positioned himself on the roof of a nearby building and opened fire with a legally purchased 8mm bolt-action rifle, striking a transport van carrying multiple detainees.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the identity of the deceased detainee as Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, 37, of El Salvador, ruling his death a homicide.
Two other detainees remain in critical condition:
Miguel Ángel García, a Mexican national, currently on life support.
The Mexican Consulate General in Dallas has contacted García’s family and is providing support.
José Andrés Bordones-Molina, a Venezuelan national, who is hospitalized in critical condition.
ICE confirmed that other detainees in the van were not struck by gunfire. Officials noted that ICE agents and ATF officers ran into active gunfire to extract survivors and move the remaining detainees to safety, an act authorities say “likely saved more lives.”
Investigators say Jahn appeared to be targeting ICE officers and personnel, not detainees. FBI Special Agent in Charge Joe Rothrock revealed that ammunition recovered near the rooftop sniper position contained anti-ICE messages.
Further evidence seized from Jahn’s home included handwritten notes describing his plan of attack. According to Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy Larson, Jahn wrote that he intended to “maximize lethality against ICE personnel” while attempting to minimize harm to detainees or other bystanders.
Authorities said Jahn conducted weeks of pre-attack research, including:
Downloading a Dallas County Office of Homeland Security document with DHS facility information.
Conducting online searches between Sept. 23–24 for ballistics data and a “Charlie Kirk shot” video.
Using apps in August to track the locations of ICE personnel.
Driving with a ladder attached to his vehicle, believed to have been used to access the rooftop firing position.
Larson described the detainee casualties as “a tragic irony” and called the attack “the very definition of terrorism.”
No ICE officers were injured in the attack. The Dallas Police Department, FBI, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are jointly investigating the incident.
“This suspect was arrested in possession of a loaded weapon in a vehicle provided by Des Moines Public Schools after fleeing federal law enforcement,” said Sam Olson, ICE ERO St. Paul Field Office Director, noting that Jahn’s writings showed a clear intent to instill fear among ICE personnel.
Friends from Jahn’s childhood described him as quiet, more interested in video games than politics.
One former classmate told, “Josh was the least political person I knew in high school. When people started talking about politics, he’d say, ‘guys, shut up, can we just play Halo?’”
Jahn attended Allen Independent School District from kindergarten through 12th grade and briefly studied at UT Dallas, according to school officials.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office, FBI Dallas Field Office, and federal partners continue to investigate Jahn’s background, his access to firearms, and whether others may have been involved. At this time, officials believe he acted alone.
Authorities emphasize that while Jahn’s writings suggested he did not intend to kill detainees, his actions directly caused one death and left two critically injured.
“This case is a sobering reminder of the threats our federal law enforcement officers face every day,” Larson said. “While this shooter intended to terrorize ICE, his actions instead brought tragic harm to the very individuals he claimed he did not want to hurt.”
City of Hammond, Louisiana — At approximately 11:50 p.m. on February 24, 2026, officers with the Hammond Police Department responded to a report of shots fired involving one possible victim.
Upon arrival, officers located a 14-year-old juvenile female, identified as Tyronai Reed, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
Emergency medical assistance was rendered at the scene, and she was transported to North Oaks Health System for treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Reed later succumbed to her injuries.
Detectives assigned to the department’s Criminal Investigations Division launched an immediate homicide investigation.
During the course of their investigation, authorities identified 18-year-old Demontez Treyvon “Trey” Robinson of Hammond as a suspect in the shooting.
While actively working the case, officers observed a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and conducted a traffic stop.
Robinson was identified as the driver of the vehicle and was taken into custody without incident.
Robinson was transported to the Criminal Investigations Division for questioning. According to investigators, Robinson admitted that the firearm discharged while he was handling or “playing with” it, resulting in the single round striking the 14-year-old victim.
Robinson was subsequently booked into the Hammond City Jail on one count of Negligent Homicide.
Authorities emphasize that the investigation remains in its early stages and additional details may be released as they become available.
