FBI finds ICE shooting justified
Posted: Mar 15, 2013 11:09 AM by Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - An FBI investigation has determined the fatal shooting of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent by a colleague at a Los Angeles-area federal building was justified.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller declined to provide other details, saying they would be kept confidential because no criminal charges are planned.
ICE agent Ezequiel Garcia shot his supervisor, Kevin Kozak, multiple times in February 2012 while discussing job performance. Another agent who heard the gunfire rushed into the Long Beach office, tried to disarm Garcia and fatally shot him. Kozak survived.
The other agent's name was not officially released. However, a federal official with knowledge of the investigation previously told The Associated Press he is Perry Woo. The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke only on condition of anonymity.
