The officers fears seem completely founded to me. Assuming the forensics match his story, this should be an open and shut case.
Shot a bronx driver? How about the truth.........HE WAS A F’N ILLEGAL!
Every time another MEXCRIM commits a crime in this area, the media reports him as a resident of whatever town he happened to be driving thru last on his way to commit his next crime.
Why can’t the media tell the truth........ever???
