ICE Officer Shoots Man in Van | Savannah News

A fifty-two-year-old construction worker, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Houston just as he was heading to work—sparking outrage and protests from his grieving family, who hailed him as a devoted father and longtime resident seeking legal status. The incident, occurring days before two other deaths in federal immigration raids, has intensified scrutiny of DHS tactics. U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz revealed officers were targeting two Guatemalan men in a van resembling Salgado’s, and mistook him for one of them after two failed pull-over attempts. Salgado allegedly reversed and then accelerated, prompting the fatal shots. Contradicting earlier DHS reports, Reitz’s office omitted details like the van striking a patrol vehicle and whether officers felt threatened—while noting no officers were injured.
