ICE Agents Fatally Shoot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo
Federal agents killed a man due to mistaken identity.
Event Overview
ICE agents fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a traffic stop in Houston. The DHS admitted Araujo was not the intended target of the operation, which was seeking two individuals from Guatemala. While the DHS claims the shooting was self-defense because Araujo used his vehicle as a weapon, reports indicate no public evidence corroborates this. None of the officers involved were wearing body cameras during the encounter.
