Family members of Mexican immigrant Lorenzo Salgado Araujo grieve during a candlelight vigil in Houston on Wednesday, July 8. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in an unmarked car fatally shot Araujo on Tuesday. ICE said Salgado Araujo attempted to evade arrest as agents tried to conduct a traffic stop as part of a “targeted operation.” He rammed into a law enforcement vehicle and refused to follow several verbal commands before an ICE agent fired his weapon in self-defense, the agency told CNN in a statement Tuesday. Disputing the government’s account, Salgado Araujo’s family says they believe the man who’d been seeking a work permit would have stopped and complied with federal agents if he had known the car following him belonged to ICE or other law enforcement.
