Summary
Multiple sources said the ICE agents who fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston this week were not wearing body cameras, leaving little public video of the encounter.
ICE said the Mexican citizen, whom authorities described as being in the U.S. illegally, tried to evade arrest and attempted to run over an officer with his vehicle, prompting the shooting.
The Department of Homeland Security inspector general and Houston prosecutors are now conducting separate investigations into the Tuesday incident.
Hakeem Jeffries and other Democrats demanded an independent investigation and immediate release of any footage, while Araujo's family disputed ICE's account.
Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said her government would pursue legal measures, widening pressure over a shooting that has drawn national attention.
