His son, Ronaldo Salgado, discovered his father's death through a social media news report and stated that his father, who had lived in the US for 35 years, was close to obtaining legal status. The Department of Homeland Security alleges Salgado attempted to evade arrest, rammed an ICE vehicle, and tried to run over an officer, prompting the agent to fire in self-defence. Salgado's family, local officials, and the Hispanic civil rights group LULAC are demanding a full and transparent investigation, including the release of bodycam footage and other evidence. This incident is the first fatal shooting by federal immigration officers since Renee Good and Alex Pretti, with LULAC noting previous cases where ICE claims of officers being run over were later disproven.
