Harris County DA says 'it's inconsistent that drugs' found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's van

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A day after documents showed the Federal Bureau of Investigation filed to obtain a search warrant to look through 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's van, the Harris County District Attorney's Office shared that it doesn't believe the substances collected were drugs.

According to documents, the FBI said they saw "white crystal-like substance packaged in small plastic bags" from outside of the van.

The search warrant, which was filed July 14, states that "searches of the target vehicle will yield evidence of the crimes committed and violations of drug offenses."

Following the deadly shooting, an FBI special agent says he "inspected the vehicle and observed in plain view several plastic bags with what appeared to be white crystal-like substances packaged in small plastic bags," according to the warrant.

On Thursday, DA Sean Teare shared on social media that "Based on what we've learned about the passengers, it's inconsistent that drugs were in the van."
