A judge dismissed criminal charges against TikTok streamer Richard LA, who was shot during a 2025 immigration raid, citing denial of counsel and missed deadlines.

A federal judge has dismissed criminal charges against Carlitos Ricardo Parias, a TikTok streamer known as Richard LA, who was shot by a federal agent during an October 2025 immigration enforcement operation in South Los Angeles. The dismissal with prejudice means prosecutors cannot refile the same charges. The judge ruled that Parias was denied access to counsel while detained and that the government failed to meet discovery deadlines, including releasing body camera footage. Authorities had accused Parias of ramming law enforcement vehicles during a traffic stop, prompting the agent’s use of force. Parias was wounded in the elbow, and a deputy U.S. marshal was injured by a ricochet. The incident has sparked scrutiny over law enforcement procedures and due process in high-profile immigration cases.
