DA Doubts Drugs Found in Van Linked to Houston ICE Shooting
Harris County prosecutors dispute the FBI’s assertion that drugs were found in the van where Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was fatally shot by an ICE agent. District Attorney Sean Teare stated that based on their current information and visual inspection of the collected items, they do not believe the substances are illegal drugs. Teare emphasized that the nature of these substances should not influence the investigation into the justification of the traffic stop or the use of force that resulted in Salgado Araujo’s death, especially given that the involved ICE agents were not wearing body cameras.
