Federal agents involved in a fatal shooting of a Mexican homebuilder in Houston were not equipped with body-worn cameras at the time of the incident. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security stated that the agents were attempting to stop a vehicle as part of a targeted operation to arrest an individual, not the victim, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. The agency claims Salgado Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle, leading a federal officer to fire in self-defense.

Local prosecutors are now investigating the death, seeking to understand the circumstances surrounding the encounter.
