Lorenzo Salgado Araujo shot and killed by ICE agent in Houston, authorities confirm: Live updates

ABC13 is set to learn more about the investigation surrounding the death of Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo after authorities say he was shot and killed by an ICE agent earlier this week.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia and Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare are set to give the latest developments in the case Friday morning during a press conference scheduled for 11 a.m.

According to the Congresswoman Garcia's office, Hugo Baldera-Ybarra, the lawyer for the passengers who were in the vehicle with Araujo when he was fatally shot, will also be at the press briefing.

Garcia said she will brief reporters on her conversation with Acting ICE Director David Venturella.

The man fatally shot during a traffic stop by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Houston this week was not the original target of the immigration enforcement operation, a Department of Homeland Security official told ABC News.

The DHS official said Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national, "resembled the target."

"After receiving a credible tip from our law enforcement partners, our officers conducted surveillance on a target's address. Weeks prior to the incident, they noted two white vans at the property," the official said. "On July 7, officers were almost at the target's address when they observed a white van with an individual who resembled the target. Officers then initiated the vehicle stop."

The update from DHS comes as Salgado's family and local officials are pushing for answers and demanding an independent and transparent investigation into the incident.

Surveillance video is helping to paint a clearer picture of what happened in the moments leading to Tuesday's deadly ICE shooting.

A home surveillance video clip posted online by Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's family shows him leaving his house at 5:54 a.m. and getting into his white work van.

Multiple videos Eyewitness News obtained show the van speeding south on Wayside at 6:46 a.m. before turning east onto Canal Street.

Two unmarked SUVs can be seen pursuing the van.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were not wearing body-worn cameras during the deadly ICE shooting of a Mexican national during an operation in Houston this week, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The officers were "not issued" body-worn cameras, according to a DHS spokesperson, who pointed to two partial government shutdowns -- one in the fall of 2025 and the other one earlier this year -- for the delay in issuing them to ICE law enforcement officers.
