(NBC, KYMA) – A second detainee has died after being wounded in last week’s shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas.
In a statement shared by the League of United Latin American Citizens, the family of Miguel Ángel García-Hernández confirmed Tuesday he succumbed to his injuries after being removed from life support. An ICE official has also confirmed the news.
He was one of three detainees shot in the September 24 attack on an ICE facility in Dallas.
In the statement, his wife, Stephany Gauffeny wrote, “My husband miguel was a good man, a loving father, and the provider for our family…We had just bought our first home together, and he worked hard every single day to make sure our children had what they needed. His death is a senseless tragedy that has left our family shattered.”
Gauffeny is currently expecting their fifth child, and a GoFundMe has been created.
Another detainee, identified as Norlan Guzman-Guentes, was also killed in the attack.
Authorities say 29-year-old Joshua Jahn fired at the facility indiscriminately from a nearby rooftop. He was later found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A third detainee injured in the shooting continues to recover from his wounds.
