ICE alleged in a statement that its officers attempted to stop a vehicle driven\u00a0by Lorenzo Salgado Araujo around 6:50 a.m. Araujo is allegedly undocumented and didn’t follow verbal commands, according to ICE.<\/p>\n

The agency alleged that Araujo “weaponized his vehicle” and tried to run over an officer during the stop, prompting the officer to fire their weapon “in self-defense.”<\/p>\n

“The driver was struck, and emergency services were immediately contacted. The driver was transported to the hospital, where he passed away from his injuries,” ICE said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The FBI is now investigating the situation.<\/p>\n

Six days ago, an ICE officer discharged his weapon after the agency alleged a suspect “weaponized his car” and fled in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.\u00a0The suspect in that incident has not been found.<\/p>\n
