A video has emerged showing an illegal alien, suspected of shooting an off-duty CBP officer during an attempted robbery, being dumped outside a Bronx hospital by another suspect. The incident occurred in Fort Washington Park, where the suspect allegedly attempted to rob the officer at gunpoint, leading to a confrontation that resulted in multiple injuries. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released the video, emphasizing that both suspects will face the full weight of the U.S. Justice System. The officer, who was shot in the face and arm, is expected to recover.
Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez is accused of shooting the CBP officer during an attempted robbery in Fort Washington Park late Saturday night. The CBP officer was hanging out in the park with a companion when police say Nunez and another suspect pulled up on the moped and tried to rob the officer at gunpoint. The officer pulled out his own service weapon to defend himself. Both Nunez and the officer were shot multiple times.
Nunez entered the U.S. illegally at the Arizona border in 2023. He was released into the country under the Biden administration. At the time of his arrest for the shooting, he had an active warrant for kidnapping in Massachusetts and multiple prior felony arrests, according to DHS.
On Monday, the second person was arrested in connection with the shooting. Cristian Aybar Berroa of the Dominican Republic, who illegally entered the United States on June 19, 2022, and was released into the country on interim parole pending his immigration hearing, was taken into custody, DHS said Monday upon his arrest. He is suspected of committing several crimes while on parole, including 2nd degree reckless endangerment in May 2023 and 4th degree felony grand larceny and petit larceny in March and April 2024.
In February of this year, Berroa was arrested for 2nd degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and for driving without a license, according to DHS. On June 12, 2025, Berroa pled guilty to petit larceny at the Bronx County Supreme Court. This plea was made in consolidation of all his previous arrests, and he was conditionally discharged and allowed to roam the streets of NYC. A judge ordered Berroa a final order of removal on January 3, 2023.
New York is a sanctuary city for illegal aliens, and does not comply with ICE detainer holds.
Nunez and Berroa are expected to face federal charges.
