One ICE vehicle who did pass by and even waved through the second but the second vehicle driver decided to get out and aggressively threaten her. She became scared and attempted to make a right hand turn to get away from him. Only to be met by a masked ICE gunman who didn’t want her to drive away and shot at her three times, killing her dead right there.

That is what happened and is clear in the video.

On edit I have been corrected that she was not making a full left hand turn but instead was making a left turn motion to move around an ice vehicle which was blocking her from making a normal right hand turn.

No matter which way she was essentially stuck in the middle of the road with ice traffic moving quickly trying to exit. She was not trying to block them in. She was blocked in by them and was even waiving them through in an attempt to ameliorate the issue. Instead they imagined she was a threat and shot her dead.

From what I see there is no way they could have thought she was a threat. They thought she was "escaping" and somaticexperiencing Jan 7 #9
