HOUSTON (AP) — A U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national who lived in the U.S. for decades, as the homebuilder drove his construction crew to a Houston job site.
His death set off protests in Texas’ largest city and calls from Democrats and Salgado Araujo‘s family for an independent investigation.
The shooting on Tuesday in a heavily Hispanic neighborhood is at least the eighth death during the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement campaign.
No immigration officers have been charged in the deaths and video footage in several previous shootings contradicts the accounts of federal officers.

Salgado Araujo’s family said he worked hard for the American dream.
Salgado Araujo and his wife came to America after meeting in their teens in Mexico and deciding they wanted a better life for their future family, Ronaldo Salgado said.
The father of three built houses in the Houston suburbs, started his own business and established his own crew.
He had no criminal record, his family said.
Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son, became a teacher.
He said one of his brothers is an engineer and the other is studying engineering in college.
His son said he was a quiet man who left for work at sunrise and loved to pet his dog and sit on his porch listening to music.
“That’s how I want the world to know my father.
Not as someone who got shot and killed, but as a family man, a man who understood that good things come to those who put in hard work,” Salgado said.
Mexico wants criminal charges over the deaths of its citizens.
President Claudia Sheinbaum said it is time to escalate Mexico’s complaints beyond diplomatic channels after the killing of Salgado Araujo.
“We are going to do everything in our power, because we cannot stand silent” in the face of the deaths of Mexicans “whose only crime is working honestly in the United States,” Sheinbaum said.
Mexico will request that criminal charges be filed in U.S. courts over the alleged killing of three Mexicans during ICE operations and the deaths of another 14 in ICE custody, Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco said Thursday during a presidential news conference.
The complaints, filed against whoever is found responsible for the deaths, will be submitted to state prosecutor offices and the U.S.
Department of Justice.
DHS is investigating the shooting.
Homeland Security said Tuesday that the department’s Inspector General’s Office was investigating the shooting.
Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare said Salgado Araujo’s family and the community deserve the truth.
His office said Thursday that they are “pursuing investigative avenues available to us and will conduct a review of any information we collect within our reach.”
Houston Mayor John Whitmire said city police were not involved in any part of the chase or shooting and have no jurisdiction over federal officers.
