Summary
Surveillance footage timestamps the chase from 6:46 a.m. to 6:48 a.m., showing two unmarked SUVs pursuing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's white van on Wayside and Canal Street before the stop where he was killed.
One camera shows an SUV cutting in front of the van, and another captures what appears to be an ICE agent opening the passenger door and wrestling an occupant to the ground; the driver's side is obscured.
Sylvia Garcia's office said ICE told it agents had an administrative warrant for one passenger and that Salgado Araujo and his brother were not targets, though ABC13 said it could not independently verify that account.
DHS said officers acted on a credible tip, had surveilled the address for weeks, saw two white vans there, and stopped the vehicle on July 7 after spotting someone who resembled the target.
