What we know<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, authorities say Araujo was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent while heading to his construction job.<\/p>\n
Residents gathered to hear updates from local leaders and ask questions about the incident. Super Neighborhood 64 and 88 hosted the information meeting.<\/p>\n
Elected officials, including State Senator Carol Alvarado, Houston City Council Member Alejandra Salinas, and Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare, attended the meeting.<\/p>\n
Teare said his office is conducting an independent investigation into the incident. He said investigators are collecting evidence, gathering surveillance video, and interviewing witnesses.<\/p>\n
“This is an independent investigation. We are investigating state crimes that may have been committed. The medical examiner ruled Mr. Salgado’s death a homicide,” Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare said.<\/p>\n
“Thanks to the Texas Rangers coming in, we have more clarity from both the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. We are on our way to getting a real picture of what happened,” Teare added.<\/p>\n
The district attorney also asked anyone with information about the case to come forward and speak with his office as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n
