Houston ICE shooting death ruled homicide by Harris County ME amid camera delays

The Harris County Medical Examiner ruled Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s death a homicide after an ICE targeted operation, citing a penetrating gunshot wound to the torso; ICE maintains Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle and attempted to run over an agent, prompting a self-defense shot. With no body-worn cameras available due to funding and shutdown delays, investigators will rely on witnesses and other evidence as federal and county authorities review the incident and calls for independent transparency continue.
