The ABC-7 I-Team has obtained video that shows the moment of the shooting.
Homeland Security officials say Marimar Martinez rammed into federal agents near 39th Street and Kedzie Avenue in Brighton Park, but the woman's lawyer says the video shows otherwise.
The Montessori school teacher was shot five times the morning of Oct. 4. That's when Customs and Border Protection agents had their guns drawn as they were being followed by other vehicles. The 30-year-old was later arrested at the hospital.

The released video shows Agent Charles Exum, who is driving, pull the steering wheel to the left, colliding with a vehicle before getting out and opening fire.
The Department of Justice blurred the agents' faces.
From the beginning, the government's official narrative was that Martinez was part of a convoy that was allegedly boxing the agents in, and that it was she who sideswiped them. Body camera video appears to contradict that narrative.
"She didn't ram them. They rammed her, sideswiped her," attorney Chris Parente said.
There is also surveillance video from a nearby tire shop that contradicts a drawing one of the agents in the vehicle made depicting how they were allegedly boxed in. The video appears to show the vehicles in front of the agents driving off, while the agents' Tahoe stops just inside the frame. Martinez's vehicle is then seen jumping the curb and driving off in the moments after she's shot.
"They drew those cars in to justify a bad shooting. The U.S Attorney's Office knew about this," Parente said.

Following the incident, text messages show Exum appeared to brag about shooting Martinez, saying "I fired 5 rounds and she had seven holes. Put that in your book boys."
During her Capitol Hill testimony last week, Martinez said she has pain daily as a result of the injuries caused by the shooting, and is in physical therapy to help with her recovery.
DHS has yet to comment on the newly released evidence.
Although assault charges against Martinez have been dropped, she wants an apology from the Trump administration.
Martinez stayed mostly silent Wednesday, as her attorneys spoke out.
She did speak in Spanish, saying "I don't fear anyone. The only thing I fear is God."
Martinez's attorney said his client plans on filing a civil lawsuit against DHS and Exum for tens of millions of dollars in damages.
The law requires them to first file a separate complaint before they can get their day in court.
"We'll get a fair trial, and we will hold these officers accountable," attorney Michael Gallagher said.
Because of the laws that govern how individuals can go after federal employees for causing bodily harm, Martinez's attorneys are filing what is known as a tort complaint.
They will then have to wait six months before they can file a civil rights lawsuit against both Exum and DHS. But, they say, they will.
"She sees federal agents, government officials, all the way up to the highest levels, willing to lie about what happened to her," Gallagher said.
There is an open federal investigation in Indiana regarding Agent Exum's actions that day.
But there are very few details known about where it stands.
Martinez's attorneys said the FBI still has her vehicle, which they requested to keep as their investigation moves forward.
