Description

Federal prosecutors say the FBI has obtained video connected to this month’s shooting by a U.S. Border Patrol agent outside a medical clinic in Portland that left two wounded.

Previously, the FBI said it had not found any footage of the incident.

Agents determined earlier this week “that video footage obtained gave partial views of the incident,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Edmonds wrote in a Tuesday court filing.

The Jan. 8 shooting happened around 2 p.m. while Border Patrol was attempting to make a targeted traffic stop outside Adventist Health Primary Care in East Portland, federal law enforcement has stated in public statements and court filings.

Investigators and emergency personnel from the FBI and HSI work at the scene of a U.S. Border Patrol shooting of two people at building three of Adventist Health on the 10200 block of Southeast Main Street in Portland on Jan. 8, 2026.

Yorlenys Zambrano-Contreras was the subject of the immigration operation, according to federal law enforcement agencies. She was attending a doctor’s appointment and was the passenger in the pickup truck driven by Luis Nino-Moncada. Immigration officers drove up and Nino-Moncada fled the scene, federal prosecutors have said. Both Zambrano-Contreras and Nino-Moncada were shot, hospitalized and later arrested.

The federal government says both are in the country unlawfully. After Zambrano-Contreras was shot, federal prosecutors charged her with a federal misdemeanor for improperly entering the United States more than two years ago. Nino-Moncada faces charges of aggravated assault on a federal employee with a deadly or dangerous weapon and depredation of federal property. He’s pleaded not guilty.

Hours after the shooting, the FBI announced it was “investigating an agent involved shooting.”

According to Edmonds’ filing on Tuesday, the government engaged in “an extensive investigation” to find video footage of the events quickly after they occurred.

Days after the shooting, FBI Special Agent Daniel Jeffreys wrote in a criminal complaint that agents had not found any video.

“There is no body worn camera footage from the involved six Border Patrol Agents,” Jeffreys wrote on Jan. 10. “Investigators have scoured the area and social media in an effort to find surveillance footage, but to no avail. The fixed surveillance cameras in the area of this parking lot, according to the business, did not capture footage of this event. Investigators continue to look for any available video evidence of this event, but to date have been unsuccessful.”

Crime tape surrounds a damaged vehicle rented and used by U.S. Border Patrol, at the scene of a U.S. Border Patrol shooting of two people at building three of Adventist Health on the 10200 block of Southeast Main Street in Portland on Jan. 8, 2026.

On Jan. 11, agents made “initial inquiries” into businesses surrounding the Adventist Health facility, including Fora Health, a health and treatment provider nearby, Edmonds stated in Tuesday’s court filing.

“The conclusion drawn by agents who inquired of Fora Health’s security department that day was negative as to the existence of relevant video footage,” the federal prosecutor stated.

On Jan. 20, the FBI served a subpoena on Fora Health for security camera footage, Edmonds wrote in the court filing.

Agents received four videos from Fora Health on Monday and began reviewing them using “technology to zoom into or enlarge the view,” according to Edmonds. After FBI agents determined the videos showed “partial views of the incident,” they shared them with federal prosecutors, who informed the federal public defenders representing Nino-Moncada of the videos’ existence.

Defense attorneys have also subpoenaed video, audio and records from Allied Security, Adventist Health and Portland Police Bureau officers who wear body cameras.

Fora Health did not immediately return OPB’s request for comment.
