HOUSTON – Hundreds of mourners, community leaders and elected officials gathered Thursday for the visitation of Lorenzo Salgado, the 35-year Houston resident who was fatally shot by an ICE agent. As the community honored Salgado’s life, Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare said his office continues to seek key evidence from federal authorities as multiple investigations remain underway.<\/p>\n
Lorenzo Salgado visitation draws mourners as investigation continues <\/p>\n
What they’re saying:<\/p>\n
The 4-hour visitation for Salgado saw a steady stream of people at Great Chapel at Forest Park Lawndale.<\/p>\n
The dignitaries in attendance included Houston Mayor John Whitmire.<\/p>\n
Before the service, FOX 26 spoke to Harris County DA Sean Teare who said local FBI agents were sharing evidence and information with him for his investigation, but that’s not the case with DHS. Teare said that federal agency won’t give him the name of the ICE agent involved, but the DA vows to get everything needed for a thorough investigation.<\/p>\n
The Texas Rangers are also investigating.<\/p>\n
“If someone can be held criminally responsible for taking a 35-year resident’s life, it doesn’t matter who you are, you can’t hide behind a badge. We will hold you accountable,” said Teare.<\/p>\n
Gilbert Moreno was one of many who attended the visitation.<\/p>\n
“There are people who care about him that are shocked by this tragedy, that our government’s kind of gone astray, and we need to pull it back,” Moreno said.<\/p>\n
We asked Cesar Espinoza with FIEL Houston how Lorenzo’s family was holding up.<\/p>\n
“They are increasingly strong. They are also increasingly humble to share this very intimate moment with the community,” he said. “It shows you the type of people he raised.”<\/p>\n
Lorenzo’s brother couldn’t make the service. He and two other passengers in the van remain at an ICE detention facility in Conroe.<\/p>\n
