Summary
Ronaldo Salgado and his younger brother used a Houston vigil on Saturday to press for accountability in the fatal ICE shooting of their father, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.
The 52-year-old Mexican immigrant had lived in Houston for 35 years and was driving to work with three other men on Tuesday when ICE agents followed him and then shot him.
Ronaldo Salgado called for a full independent investigation, preservation of evidence and the return of his father's van, saying the family is still seeking answers.
ICE has said Salgado Araujo failed to stop, rammed an agency vehicle and tried to run over an officer, prompting an agent to fire in self-defense.
The case drew added scrutiny after the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday that Salgado Araujo was not the intended target and agents had been seeking another man.
