Houston ICE shooting: DHS says victim wasn't the intended target

TL;DR Summary
The Department of Homeland Security says Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national killed by ICE during a Houston traffic stop, was not the intended target of the operation; agents spotted a white van resembling the target and the officer fired in self-defense. The officers involved reportedly did not have body cameras at the time. Salgado, 52, a longtime builder with no criminal record, died after being taken to hospital. The incident spurred protests and prompted calls from Democrats for an independent investigation, while Mexico says it will file criminal complaints over deaths of Mexicans in US custody.
