A suspected illegal immigrant who tried to run down an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Houston on Tuesday morning was shot dead by the agent.
ICE said the incident took place at about 6:50 a.m. Central Time, when ICE agents tried to stop a vehicle “as part of a targeted enforcement operation to arrest an illegal alien,” according to KRIV-TV in Houston.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national who was allegedly in the U.S. illegally, was not cooperative, according to ICE.
“From information we are receiving, he rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle, refused to follow multiple verbal commands, and weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer resulting in our officer firing his weapon in self-defense,” ICE said in a statement, according to KRIV.
The ICE statement said the FBI is leading an investigation into the shooting..
“This is a developing situation, and we will update the public when more information is available,” the statement noted.
The Houston Fire Department said Araujo was shot in the right side and was taken to Ben Taub Hospital while first responders conducted CPR, according to KPRC-TV.
