HOUSTON — A man was shot and killed Tuesday morning by federal agents in Houston's East End, according to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
They said the incident unfolded just before 7 a.m. near the intersection of Canal Street and Wayside Drive.
An ICE spokesperson said officers were trying to pull over a vehicle as part of a "targeted enforcement operation to arrest an illegal alien."
They said the driver of the vehicle they tried to pull over, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, tried to get away. ICE officials said Araujo is here illegally from Mexico.
Investigators said Araujo rammed into an ICE vehicle and refused to follow orders. They also said he tried to "weaponize" his vehicle and run over an officer.
Federal officials said the officer opened fire in self-defense during the incident, and Araujo was struck. He was taken to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
KHOU 11 News obtained surveillance video that shows part of the interaction. The video shows what appears to be ICE agents around a man on the ground next to a white truck. The video doesn't show what happened beforehand.
