HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It’s been nearly three weeks since a man was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent on Canal Street.<\/p>\n
The Department of Homeland Security, from the beginning, has said the ICE agent shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo because he was trying to run over an agent.<\/p>\n
Something his family and the other four men in his van that morning have disputed.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, community members gathered to hold a procession and vigil for him in Magnolia Park as they seek the truth about what happened.<\/p>\n
Community members told ABC13 it was about honoring Salgado Araujo as well as all the immigrants who have helped build communities throughout Houston.<\/p>\n
Rows of yellow construction hats and dozens of people marching arm in arm. A sign of support from people across the community as they took to the streets of Magnolia Park on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Salgado’s family said he was an undocumented construction worker who was working to gain his legal status, adding that he had been in the United States for 35 years and had no criminal record.<\/p>\n
“When we see Lorenzo, we see our fathers. We see our uncles. We see our brothers. We see our husbands. We see our fellow workers. We see our familia. DHS has said Salgado was never the target of their enforcement. But DHS says an ICE officer shot and killed him after he tried to run over an agent,” said the executive director of the United Latino Ministry Methodist Church, Lydia Munoz.<\/p>\n
The federal government said there is no body camera or dash camera video of the incident.<\/p>\n
It’s created an uproar from many in the community over the last three weeks, who demand transparency through this investigation.<\/p>\n
Members of Congress vowed to not remian silent as four simultaneous investigations are underway by the FBI, DHS, the Texas Rangers, and the Harris County DA’s office.
