July 10 (UPI) -- The Mexican national killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the Houston area on Tuesday was not the target of their operation, the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving a white van ICE agents believed to be harboring two Guatemalan immigrants when they opened fire, fatally shooting him. The people the agents were looking for were not in the van.
"This is outrageous to me, and this is ridiculous to hear that no one in that van was a target of any sort of investigation," said Ronaldo Salgado, the eldest son of Araujo.
Araujo was on his way to work with three other men in the vehicle.
