Salgado Van Substance Reveal | San Antonio News

In a shocking twist to the Houston shooting case, the substance found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s van—initially suspected to be meth—has been confirmed by U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz as not meth at all. While the FBI sought a warrant to test “crystal-like substances” and cited probable cause, the delay in releasing results has fueled suspicion. Critics argue the slow lab turnaround, which took weeks, may have been intentional to protect the officers’ narrative. Salgado’s family and legal team insist the substance was just salt and water for hydration—a common practice for construction workers in Texas heat—and question why results wouldn’t have come back faster if it were marijuana. Experts note the FBI lab is highly efficient, raising questions about why transparency was delayed. The shooting itself remains controversial: ICE claims Salgado rammed their vehicles, but passengers say ICE initiated contact, and two others are still detained.
