For now to the deadly ice shooting in Houston, Texas.
The Department of Homeland Security admitting that a man fatally shot by an ICE officer was not the intended target of their investigation.
The community is in shock tonight and demanding an independent investigation.
Here's John Quinones.
Tonight, federal authorities revealing that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the husband and father killed by ICE agents while on his way to work, was not their intended target.
A DHS official saying Araujo was stopped after officers observed a white van with an individual who resembled the target.
Araujo's family sharing this video showing him getting into his white van early Tuesday morning.
ICE officials claim Araujo rammed a federal vehicle during an attempted arrest and that he was shot after he refused to follow commands.
But witnesses inside Araujo's vehicle casting doubt.
All three of my clients reiterated that at no point was there ever an agent standing in front of the vehicle, nor was an agent ever placed in the line of danger.
It's a nightmare.
Araujo, the father of three sons, all US citizens, the young men telling me their father, a Mexican national, had been in the country for almost 35 years and was close to obtaining legal status.
We miss him.
And that I know that in his final moments, as fearful as he was for his own life, I know he was thinking about us.
Rachel,
Homeland Security officials say the agents involved were in unmarked vehicles and were not wearing body cameras.
Tonight, the Harris County District Attorney's Office says that anyone with video of this incident come forward.
Okay, John. We appreciate your reporting. Thank you.
