A federal agent fired shots at an unarmed Black man during a recent traffic stop while patrolling the nation's capital for President Donald Trump's law-enforcement surge. But a police report on the encounter doesn't mention the shooting, an omission that the man's attorneys point to as evidence of a cover-up attempt. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the shooting by a Homeland Security Investigations agent, who was with police officers and other federal agents when they stopped a car driven by Phillip M. Brown on Oct. 17. Brown, 33, of Hyattsville, Maryland, wasn't injured in the shooting. He was jailed for three days on a charge that he fled from law enforcement, but a judge has already dismissed the case.
