This morning, growing outrage in Houston after a man was shot and killed by ICE agents earlier this week. New video appears to show the moment an ICE agent cuts off a white van. Later also seen in disturbing new video from a passing car, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo lying bleeding on the street surrounded by agents. >> I saw a video posted on Facebook that he had been shot. I recognized him immediately. Not from [snorts] his appearance, but from his voice crying for help as he [snorts] lay on the street
bleeding out. >> A Mexican national, Salgado Araujo, had been living in the US for more than three decades. His family saying he was a construction worker on his way to a work site in his van with other laborers. ICE officials said they were attempting to stop his car as part of a targeted enforcement operation. His family says he was close to obtaining legal status. >> We dotted every I, crossed every T, filled every document, attended every appointment. >> The Department of Homeland Security,
which oversees ICE, says Salgado Araujo ignored commands and attempted to ram an officer with his car. The agency claiming the officer then fired in self-defense. >> Federal officials say their vehicle was rammed, but they haven't provided any evidence. >> He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline of Mexican man shot and killed by [snorts] ICE. He deserved to quit live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father, and a job creator for dozens of men who also wanted the American dream.
>> The victim's son says he thinks his father may have been fleeing the agents because they didn't identify themselves, because they were in a vehicle that was not marked, and because he might have well feared he was being carjacked.
