Family to hold a vigil for man fatally shot by immigration officer in Houston

The family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old Mexican national fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Houston while driving his construction crew, is holding a public vigil amid disputes over the circumstances of the shooting. The Department of Homeland Security claims Salgado Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle, prompting the agent to fire in self-defense, while his family and passengers dispute this account. The FBI is investigating whether drugs found in the van were linked to the traffic stop, with conflicting claims about the substance's nature.
