Two passengers who were in the vehicle where a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston in July provide testimony in federal court. According to the witnesses, the officer who fired was not in immediate danger of being run over at the time of the shooting. They say the driver was in the process of parking when the shots were fired, rather than driving at or toward the officer. The accounts directly address the issue of whether the officer faced an imminent threat, including the possibility that the vehicle could have struck the officer. The testimony is presented as part of court proceedings related to the incident. The witnesses’ statements focus on the vehicle’s position and the circumstances leading up to the gunfire, asserting that the situation did not involve the officer being endangered by the van’s movement. The sources report consistent details about the timing—when the driver was parking—and the absence of danger from being run over.
