How do we know? Face covered, no name tag or i.d. on uniform. Perhaps, if his pistol was registered, the bullets could be ballistically matched.
But the murderer could be goose-stepping past city hall right now and be unidentifiable.

One thing which occurred to me is that police can only shoot a fleeing suspect if the suspect is suspected of a felony and is clearly fleeing. She was clearly fleeing. But is obstruction of ICE a felony? If the shots were through the side window she wasn't trying to run over the officer, so no felony there. If the shots were through the windshield, it does look like she was trying to run over the officer.

17. I think it was the tan/beige SUV that was blocking the road right by her car.

There is a more complete video in the video section and they seems to be focusing on it and got the license plate.

He has distinct eyebrows and haircut. Someone will know him.

19. I've watched the video a couple of times and it's not the shooter but why did they leave the scene in a hurry?

20. Have heard that some agents are putting a "police" badge-type ID over the "agent"

badge so they appear more benign. How do they get away with that? It's bad enough that they wear masks and are unnamed on their uniforms and don't have to give any miranda-type warnings when they take people away to wherever.

He is in the hospital, after being run over by the victim.

I have seen no reports, other than Trump, suggesting he was even touched.

But I haven't seen as video from an angle that rules out contact. (You can be grazed by a slow moving car and walk away.)

On edit: I watched the video's too but I can't tell if she bumped his knee or pushed his body. That part is not clear but either way he did not use caution at all.

Apparently he was hit recently and dragged.

Wonder if it was this one: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/ice-officer-kills-man-chicago-194704458.html

That might explain Trump's statement - and if it is, it is the second person he has killed.

Enough of his face was visible that someone will recognize him. And how can he be in the hospital for being run over when the car never came close to touching him? They truly do believe everyone is as stupid as they are.
