A Saturday gathering in Oak Cliff will honor Norlan Guzman and Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez with a community altar at the site of their mural.

DALLAS — One year after a gunman opened fire at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas, the families of two men killed in the attack are still living with grief and unanswered questions.

On Saturday, members of the Oak Cliff community will gather to remember Norlan Guzman, 37, and Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, who died after being shot during the Sept. 24, 2025 attack.

The community event will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. at Huítzitzilin Café. Organizers will also create a community altar at the site of a mural honoring the two men.

For Berenice Prieto, Guzman-Fuentes’ widow, the mural has become a place to remember her husband.

In an interview with WFAA on Thursday, she said she visits the corner of Jefferson Boulevard two or three times a week.

“It’s to remember them,” Prieto said in Spanish.

Guzman was among three men in ICE custody who were shot during the attack outside the agency’s Dallas facility along North Stemmons Freeway.

The gunman, identified by authorities as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn of Fairview, fired from a nearby rooftop toward the facility’s sally port, where detainees were being transported.

Federal officials said Jahn had targeted ICE personnel. Authorities later said notes left by Jahn indicated he wanted to terrorize ICE agents. No ICE personnel were injured in the shooting.

Guzman, who was from El Salvador, died at the scene.

The two other men shot were Garcia-Hernández, a Mexican national, and Jose Andres Bordones-Molina, a Venezuelan national. Garcia-Hernandez was critically injured and died days later after being taken off life support. Bordones-Molina survived.

For Prieto, the anniversary has brought back the trauma of losing her husband.

“Today brings horrible memories. It’s like reliving it all again,” Prieto said.

She said the last year has felt like a blur.

“It’s been difficult, very difficult,” Prieto said, describing how accustomed she was to having Guzman-Fuentes in her life.


Questions that remain

Prieto says she continues to seek information about what happened to her husband in the moments after he was shot.

She said her attorney has requested Guzman-Fuentes’ autopsy report twice, but the family has not received it.

She wants to know where he was shot, how long he survived and whether he could have been taken to a hospital and saved.

“Every day, I still ask myself what happened,” Prieto said.

“He was a human being, not an animal,” Prieto said. “Me and his family want to know what exactly happened.”

WFAA reached out to ICE for information about any security changes or the latest investigative findings related to the shooting but has not heard back as of Thursday night. 

The attack was investigated as a targeted act of violence. Federal authorities said Jahn acted alone and that his stated target was ICE personnel, although the people struck by the gunfire were detainees.


A place to remember

In Oak Cliff, the mural has become part of the community’s effort to keep the men’s memories alive.

“It is to remember them, celebrate their lives and carry the message that this cannot happen again,” Prieto said.

For Prieto, remembering Guzman-Fuentes has become part of learning how to live without him.

“My life stopped when he died,” Prieto said.

Prieto told WFAA she battled depression in the months after her late husband’s death, and she has received psychological help over the last year.

A year later, she says she is still searching for answers that could help close what she describes as an open wound.

“We need to know what happened,” she said. “The uncertainty of not knowing how it happened, why.”
