In the days following the shooting, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's family has called for an independent investigation into the case and said they have not heard anything from the Department of Homeland Security or ICE.
"They haven't sent anyone to speak to myself or my family, no contact at all. We still don't have any answers. All we have to go for is their statement that they released. There has been no communication between us and our DHS," Salgado Araujo's son, Ronaldo Salgado, said in an interview with ABC News' John QuiƱones.
During the emotional interview, Ronaldo and his brother, Lorenzo Salgado Jr., added that their home is now empty, and they are left without answers. Ronaldo said he has seen the video of the vehicles chasing the van and that his father did not know the unmarked vehicles were ICE agents, but believes he was more concerned about his tools and workers, as the work van has been stolen in the past.
"One of my dad's biggest fears was for his work van and tools to be stolen. In the past, it has happened before that his work van was stolen, and he never got those tools back. He got his van, but no tools. So ever since then, he's been cautious about where he leaves his van, where he drives, who's around him," Ronaldo said.
