Family demands an independent probe after ICE officer fatally shoots a man in Houston
Family and advocates seek video release and an independent investigation after ICE says an agent fired in self-defense during the fatal encounter.
- An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in his work van near Wayside Drive and Canal Street in Houston on Tuesday morning.
- Salgado Araujo left home around 5 a.m. to pick up his construction crew, maintaining a daily routine for nearly 35 years in the United States before the incident.
- Latino civil rights leaders and LULAC demand an independent investigation and video release, while ICE claims an agent fired in self-defense after the vehicle allegedly rammed officers.
- Ronaldo Salgado, the victim's son, reported that three men including his uncle were detained during the operation and remain unreachable, complicating independent verification of events.
- The shooting occurred on the six-month anniversary of an ICE killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis, as advocates note that locating detained individuals can take 48 to 72 hours or longer.
