Summary
No officers at the scene were wearing body cameras when ICE fatally shot a man in Houston this week, according to two DHS officials and a source familiar with the investigation.
The disclosure adds a key evidentiary gap to probes already underway into the shooting, which the FBI and DHS inspector general are investigating.
ICE has said Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national, rammed a vehicle, ignored commands and tried to run over an officer during a targeted enforcement operation.
Araujo's family, local officials and LULAC have challenged ICE's account and pressed for an independent investigation and preservation of evidence.
