Dozens of members of the Magnolia Park community met with local leaders not far from where\u00a0Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed earlier this month by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.<\/p>\n
Salgado’s death \u2014 and the ensuing investigation \u2014 was on the minds of many\u00a0Wednesday night at the Magnolia Multi-Service Center.<\/p>\n
Harris County District Attorney<\/a> Sean Teare told the more than 40 in attendance that his office has access to Salgado’s van as part of its investigation. He added that his office has received more clarity and access to information from the FBI and Department of Homeland Security after the\u00a0Texas Rangers<\/a> announced it would start its own investigation.<\/p>\n The monthly Super Neighborhood meeting was calm, free of disruptions and protests similar to what happened Tuesday at Houston City Council. As\u00a0Teare gave updates on the investigation, residents asked questions about the Houston Police Department\u2019s involvement with ICE, whether the shooting fell under Harris County law enforcement\u2019s jurisdiction and how the District Attorney\u2019s office was looking into the matter.<\/p>\n Teare also said his office has obtained all surveillance footage that may have captured the shooting and has interviewed\u00a0one of the three men who were inside\u00a0Salgado’s van. All three witnesses are now detained at an ICE facility in Conroe.<\/p>\n He also told residents that the unsealing of the FBI warrant to search Salgado’s van was something he’s “never seen.” Federal search warrants out of the Southern District of Texas are usually unavailable for public viewing so early in an investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n “This one, a warrant that wasn’t even needed, was written and unsealed the same day it got signed,” Teare said. “In an attempt to drag a good man’s name through the mud and change the narrative.”<\/p>\n The district attorney said his office has not yet identified the ICE agent who shot Salgado.<\/p>\n “I wish I could say more,” Teare said.<\/p>\n Houston City Councilmember Alejandra Salinas and state Sen. Carol\u00a0Alvarado also met with residents at the meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dozens of members of the Magnolia Park community met with local leaders not far from where\u00a0Lorenzo Salgado Araujo…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57],"class_list":["post-383403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
