An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot a man during an enforcement operation in Houston early Tuesday after the man allegedly tried to run over the agent, according to federal authorities.
Federal agents were conducting a vehicle stop shortly before 7 a.m. as part of a targeted enforcement operation when Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, whom ICE identified as an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, allegedly attempted to flee, the agency said.
ICE said Salgado Araujo then tried to ram an agency vehicle, ignored repeated verbal commands and attempted to run over an agent. The agent fired his weapon in self-defense, according to the agency.
The Houston Fire Department said in a statement that its responders were dispatched to the shooting at 6:51 a.m. and found the man with a gunshot wound to his abdomen.
He was transported to Ben Taub Hospital with CPR in progress, the department said. He died at the hospital, according to ICE.
