On May 3, 2024, a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier shot and killed a Chechen national. The incident occurred at the soldier’s rural home, about 15 miles from Fort Bragg (Liberty), North Carolina, after sunset. Sunset on May 3, 2024, occurred at 8:03 p.m. The initial 911 call to police was placed at 8:12 p.m. The shooting occurred shortly after 8:25 p.m.
The soldier’s wife was outside their residence with their children when she noticed a man dressed in a burgundy t-shirt, black shorts, and flip-flops who appeared to be taking pictures of her house, children, and herself. She informed her husband, who approached the individual to speak with them. There was a language barrier. The soldier asked the individual to leave. The individual became aggressive and refused to leave. The soldier retrieved a handgun from his home and returned to ensure his family’s safety. Another, more urgent call was made to 911 at 8:25 p.m. From the sheriff’s report, released on August 12, 2024:
The confrontation escalated when Daraev reportedly became agitated and lunged at the homeowner after repeatedly refusing to leave the property. The homeowner reported firing several shots in response to Daraev’s advance. Under the North Carolina Castle Doctrine, the homeowner’s actions are protected, providing legal justification for using defensive force.
Investigators uncovered that the only identification associated with Daraev was an International Driver’s License found in his Chevrolet Spark, which was parked along Dowd Road and registered to him out of Chicago, Illinois. No items identifying him as a utility worker were found on his person or in his vehicle.
The person shot was identified as Ramzan Daraev, a Chechnya national who had crossed the Southern border on December 16, 2022.(Excerpt) Read more at ammoland.com ...

Thank you very much and God bless you.
The Sheriff's investigation found the Special Forces soldier's shooting of Ramzan Daraev to have been justified.
I hope the Trump administration investigates this weird case. I suspect the Biden administration dropped the ball on it.

The Biden Administration dropped the ball on it when this guy illegally crossed the border.

True, but there is the company he worked for, his lack of any US identity, the company, owned by a Moldovan who hired the company he worked for, the safety and OSHA elements, their working well into the dark without ID or notifications of residents.
Did any pay Social Security taxes? Were they working illegally? Was this an intelligence gathering operation?
The whole thing smells, and you wonder how much more is beneath the tip of this iceberg.

I wouldn’t exactly say the Biden administration “dropped the ball” here. More like “launched the ball to Pluto”.
