A Mexican national, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Houston’s East End on Tuesday. According to reports, the intended target of the shooting was not Araujo.

Araujo’s family has described him as a “hard-working family man.” The incident occurred during a confrontation between ICE agents and individuals who were allegedly in the country without proper documentation.

Video footage obtained by KHOU shows the moment before the shooting. Authorities have confirmed that an ICE agent fired the fatal shot, but no further details about the circumstances surrounding the event are available.

Mexico has stated that it will pursue legal action against the United States following the incident. The U.S. government has not commented on the matter at this time.

The incident is currently under investigation by local authorities and the FBI.
