HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The warrant for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s work van was released about a week after he was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent<\/a> during an enforcement operation on July 7.<\/p>\n

FBI Houston Special Agent in Charge Jason Hudson discussed the case during a roundtable with reporters Friday, saying the FBI was called to process the scene after the shooting.<\/p>\n

“On July 7, we were requested to process that scene, so we did collect evidence,” Hudson said. “In a very short period of time, we called in our local, state, and federal partners as well to show everything we’ve got. Our timeline. Everything.”<\/p>\n

The FBI is investigating the alleged assault of a federal officer in connection with the shooting. ICE has said Salgado Araujo allegedly “weaponized” his vehicle during the enforcement operation.<\/p>\n

Hudson said the FBI processed evidence at the scene and shared what it had with local, state and federal partners.<\/p>\n

But he said the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, is now handling the broader investigation.<\/p>\n

When asked whether the FBI knew the identity of the ICE agent involved in the shooting, Hudson said that information would come from DHS.<\/p>\n

“That would go through DHS,” Hudson said.<\/p>\n

Hudson also said he would have preferred the search warrant to remain sealed, making the public release of the document notable.<\/p>\n

As the investigation continues, Hudson said the FBI remains prepared to assist DHS and other agencies when its expertise is needed.<\/p>\n

“We are seekers of the truth. It’s what we do,” Hudson said. “If our expertise is needed in an event like that, we will provide it.”<\/p>\n

The July 7 shooting has prompted protests and calls for more information about what led to the deadly encounter. The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
