52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot by a federal officer Tuesday morning near Houston while driving in his van.<\/p>\n

But congresswoman Sylvia Garcia says the acting head of ICE told her Araujo was not the person agents were targeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cLorenzo Salgado Araujo was not the target of the operation,\u201d Rep. Garcia said. \u201cThe director said ICE was searching for an individual with a final removal order, who officers believed had entered the van.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security said agents \u201cattempted to conduct a vehicle stop\u201d and that Araujo \u201cattempted to evade arrest\u201d and \u201crammed\u201d an ICE vehicle.<\/p>\n

They say the officer fired in self-defense.<\/p>\n

Video posted on social media appears to show the moments after the shooting.<\/p>\n

But an attorney representing two of the other men in the vehicle says they maintain Araujo did not ram officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy clients\u2019 versions of the events are extremely different from what ice agents are saying,\u201d said attorney Balderas Ibarra.<\/p>\n

Those men are also undocumented migrants, and are now facing removal proceedings.<\/p>\n

The agents were not wearing body cameras, and as of now there are few photos or videos of the actual incident.<\/p>\n

Trump administration border czar Tom Homan told reporters Friday ICE was investigating the case.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to hold our officers to high standard, but we gotta wait for the investigation to play out because who knows?” he said.<\/p>\n

Scripps News asked Homan if ICE was still trying to find the initial subject of its investigation.<\/p>\n

“….I’m not into specifics of that case, but if there’s a target to be looked for, they’re looking for them everyday,” Homan said.<\/p>\n

The district attorney is calling on the public to share information about the incident as his office continues to investigate.<\/p>\n

That district attorney also said his office was not invited by federal authorities to the scene, which is typically the case.<\/p>\n
