Immigrant killed in Houston ICE shooting was not the target of operation, lawmaker says
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican immigrant shot by an ICE agent in Houston, was not the target of the operation, according to U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia. Salgado Araujo, a homebuilder in the U.S. for over 35 years and nearing legal status, was killed during a traffic stop. ICE claimed he rammed their vehicle, prompting self-defense fire from an agent. The incident has raised concerns over accountability, especially since agents were not wearing body cameras. The Harris County District Attorney's office is investigating, while LULAC offers a $5,000 reward for witness information. Three men were detained during the stop.
