Horrifying security camera footage has captured the moments before an SUV slammed into a crowd of people outside a migrant shelter in the border city of Brownsville, Texas, on Sunday morning.
The video, shared by Texas congressman Henry Cuellar, shows a group of people waiting for a bus outside the city’s Bishop Enrique San Pedro Ozanam Center. A grey Range Rover then rams into them.
Seven people were killed in the crash – which officials initially said appeared to be intentional – before an eighth victim succumbed to their injuries in hospital later on Sunday. At least nine others were hospitalised.
Most of the victims were Venezuelan men who had spent the night at the shelter and were boarding a bus to return to downtown Brownsville.
The driver – whose identity remains unknown – was also taken to hospital and police have since described him as “very uncooperative”.
“He will be transported to our city jail as soon as he gets released,” said Brownsville police investigator Lt Martin Sandoval.
“Then we’ll fingerprint him and [take a] mug shot, and then we can find his true identity.”
