HOUSTON – Toxicology tests conducted on the substances found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's truck returned negative for narcotics and illegal drugs, according to Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare. In a statement, Teare indicated that he would not make further comments as the investigation is ongoing. Victor Salgado Araujo's attorney, Lorenzo's brother, stated that the test results only confirm what the family has maintained from the beginning and urged that the focus remains on seeking justice and the release of witnesses so they can assist with the investigation. Following the announcement of the results, community representatives also reacted. State Representative Christina Morales expressed that she was not surprised by the outcome and asserted that the substances were salt used for heat. Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) pointed out that the results support what the family has said from the start: that Lorenzo Salgado was a hardworking man. Protests continued on Thursday at Hidalgo Park in Houston's East End, where residents and community leaders reiterated their demands for justice for Lorenzo Salgado and expressed concern about the impact the case has had on the immigrant community.
