Harry Styles asks Madison Square Garden crowd to remember Oscar Belgal
At a Madison Square Garden show in New York, Harry Styles asked the crowd to think about Oscar Belgal and look after one another.
Belgal, 28, was shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in the Bronx earlier that week while his 5-year-old son was in the car.
New York City’s police commissioner said an ICE officer fired seven shots after Belgal’s car began moving forward.
Federal officials said Belgal refused to leave his car and struck two government vehicles.
Belgal is being held at a federal detention center in Brooklyn, and his son is safe with a family member.
Styles said people deserve respect, love and dignity, including those who were born somewhere else or look different from them.
The incident has drawn criticism from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, while the source gives no further information about what happens next.
