An illegal migrant from Venezuela was indicted on Wednesday after he allegedly shot two New York City police officers this month.

An illegal Venezuelan migrant charged with shooting two New York City Police Department officers in Queens this month was indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday.

Yarusso reportedly ran after Mata while Abreu followed in an unmarked vehicle. Condos also followed, though on the motorcycle Mata reportedly ditched. Abreu caught up to Mata and tried to arrest him, but Mata resisted and began flailing his arms and body while reaching inside a bag he wore across his chest. Katz’s office also said that Yarusso tried to help arrest Mata, but Mata continued to resist.

Mata also allegedly shot Abreu in the upper right thigh, at which point the law enforcement officer fired back, striking Mata in the foot and ankle area. After being shot, Mata dropped the gun and was placed in handcuffs. Both officers were taken to a nearby hospital where they were treated for their injuries and released. Investigators at the scene recovered a loaded Hi-Point .380-caliber pistol as well as two deformed fired bullets, nine bullet fragments, three discharged .

Supreme Court Justice Kenneth Holder ordered Mata to return to court on Sept. 18. Police said Mata entered the country illegally last July near El Paso, Texas, and was staying at a former airport hotel-turned-migrant shelter in the Elmhurst section of Queens. Citing sources, the New York Post reported that Mata has a tattoo that signals to investigators he could be a member of Venezuela's 'bloodthirsty' Tren de Aragua gang.
