美国国土安全部周四证实，本周在休斯顿开枪击毙墨西哥国民洛伦佐·萨尔加多·阿劳霍的移民海关执法局官员，当时拦截车辆的目标另有其人。
国土安全部表示：“在收到执法伙伴提供的可靠线索后，我们的官员对目标地址进行了监视。事件发生几周前，他们注意到该地址处停有两辆白色厢式货车。”“7月7日，官员们即将抵达目标地址时，看到一辆白色厢式货车上坐着一名与目标外貌相似的男子，随后他们叫停了这辆车。”
国土安全部周二最初曾表示，移民海关执法局官员 targeting 萨尔加多·阿劳霍是因为他非法居住在美国。该部门称，他在无视“多次口头命令”并试图驾车冲撞一名警员后，警员出于自卫开枪。休斯顿消防员表示，萨尔加多·阿劳霍腹部中弹，随后他的车辆撞上了一辆移民海关执法局的车辆。
据国土安全部消息，他被送往医院后因伤势过重不治身亡。
萨尔加多·阿劳霍的家人和一名得克萨斯州联邦众议员周三表示，他在美国生活了数十年，当时正载着工人团队前往一个住宅建筑工地。他的儿子称，多年来一直未申请合法身份，后来正致力于获取合法居留资格。这起枪击事件引发了全国范围内的关注和调查呼吁。
萨尔加多·阿劳霍的家人表示，他没有犯罪记录，在美国非法居住三十多年后，即将拿到工作许可证。
联邦官员尚未公布枪击事件或车辆受损的视频或图片。
据国土安全部一名发言人透露，开枪打死他的移民海关执法局警员未佩戴随身摄像头，因为该外勤办公室的警员尚未配备相关设备。
这位发言人表示，休斯顿的警员“尚未配发随身摄像头，原因是民主党人接连引发的政府停摆”，将责任归咎于国会未能通过为各部门和机构运作提供资金的法案，导致一系列政府资金中断。2025年末曾出现为期43天的政府停摆，此外还有一场始于2月、于4月结束、长达76天的国土安全部停摆。该发言人表示，停摆中断了移民海关执法局外勤办公室的随身摄像头采购流程。
发言人还补充说，目前已有一半外勤办公室配备了随身摄像头，剩余一半预计将在未来60天内完成配备。
国土安全部发言人在周四的声明中表示，为移民海关执法局警员配备随身摄像头是一项优先事项，尤其是因为“我们的警员面临的袭击事件增加了1300%以上”，并补充称，恢复“历史性拨款”将为移民海关执法局提供必要资源，“包括随身摄像头”。
哈里斯县地区检察官办公室表示将对这起枪击事件展开调查。该办公室发言人拉斐尔·勒迈特表示，他们正在与明尼阿波利斯的当地检察官进行磋商，此前联邦特工在当地枪杀了两名美国公民，以了解他们是如何推进针对联邦移民执法人员的调查的。
“尽管关键证据仍由联邦政府掌控，但我们正在探索所有可行的调查途径，并将对我们所能收集到的任何信息进行审查，”勒迈特在发给美联社的电子邮件声明中说道。
拉丁美洲公民联盟首席执行官胡安·普罗阿诺表示，在这次致命的交通拦截行动中，包括萨尔加多·阿劳霍的兄弟在内的三名男子被移民海关执法局拘留，他一直在与这些家庭保持联系。
普罗阿诺告诉美联社，拉丁美洲公民联盟尚未获取到能清晰展现枪击瞬间情况的视频 footage，并已悬赏5000美元征集目击者信息。他补充说，萨尔加多·阿劳霍的厢式货车和移民海关执法局车辆的位置，遮挡了该联盟已查看过的监控摄像头录像。
“这将让查清整件事的真相变得更加困难，”他说道。
Man fatally shot by ICE in Houston was not intended target, DHS says

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who fatally shot Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston this week were looking for a different person when they stopped his vehicle, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed Thursday.
“After receiving a credible tip from our law enforcement partners, our officers conducted surveillance on a target’s address. Weeks prior to the incident, they noted two white vans at the property,” DHS said. “On July 7, officers were almost at the target’s address when they observed a white van with an individual who resembled the target. Officers then initiated the vehicle stop.”
DHS initially said Tuesday that ICE officers were targeting Salgado Araujo because he was living in the country without legal permission. The department alleged he was shot after he ignored “multiple verbal commands” and attempted to ram an officer who fired his weapon in self-defense. Houston firefighters said Salgado Araujo was struck in the abdomen, and then his car hit an ICE vehicle.
He was taken to the hospital but died of his injuries, according to DHS.
Salgado Araujo, who lived in the U.S. for decades, was driving a crew to a homebuilding site when he was killed, his family and a Texas congresswoman said Wednesday. His son said he had been working toward securing legal status in the U.S. after neglecting to do so for years. The shooting has drawn nationwide scrutiny and calls for investigation.
Salgado Araujo had no criminal record and was close to obtaining a work permit after living in the U.S. for more than three decades without legal status, his family has said.
Federal officials have not released video or images showing the shooting or damage to the vehicles.
The ICE officer who fatally shot him was not wearing a body camera because officers in that field office were not yet equipped with them, according to a DHS spokesperson.
The officers in Houston “had not been issued body-worn cameras due to back-to-back Democrat shutdowns,” the spokesperson said, blaming a series of government funding lapses that arose when Congress failed to pass measures to fund department and agency operations. There was a 43-day government shutdown in late 2025, as well as a separate 76-day DHS shutdown that started in February and ended in April. The spokesperson said that the shutdown interrupted the body camera procurement process for ICE field offices.
The spokesperson went on to say that half the field offices are now equipped with body cameras, and the other half are expected to receive them in the next 60 days.
The DHS spokesperson said in Thursday’s statement that providing ICE officers with body cameras is a priority, particularly because “our officers are facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them,” adding that the restoration of “historic funding” would provide ICE with necessary resources, “including body cameras.”
The Harris County District Attorney’s office said it would conduct an investigation into the shooting. The office is consulting with local prosecutors in Minneapolis, where federal agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens, to learn how they have navigated investigations into federal immigration agents, spokesperson Rafael Lemaitre said.
“Although access to key evidence remains under federal control, we are pursuing investigative avenues available to us and will conduct a review of any information we collect within our reach,” Lemaitre said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press.
Three men, including Salgado Araujo’s brother, were detained by ICE during the fatal traffic stop, according to Juan Proaño, CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens, who has been communicating with their families.
LULAC has yet to obtain video footage that clearly shows what happened during the moments of the shooting and has offered a reward of $5,000 for information from witnesses, Proaño told AP. The position of Salgado Araujo’s van and ICE vehicles has obstructed security camera footage LULAC has reviewed, he added.
“It’s going to make it even more difficult to find the truth in all this,” he said.
