Summary
Dave Matthews used a Friday concert to denounce ICE agents as “a--holes” and name Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, calling the Houston killing of the father and grandfather a murder.
ICE said Araujo, a Mexican citizen, was shot during a 6:50 a.m. traffic-stop operation after he tried to flee and used his vehicle to attempt to run over an officer, who fired in self-defense.
Matthews challenged that account onstage, saying agents admitted Araujo was not the person they were seeking and arguing they should not have pulled the trigger.
The remarks extend Matthews’ earlier criticism of ICE after activist Renee Good’s death in Minneapolis in February, when he accused the agency of terrorizing communities.
