The Family has launched a GoFundMe to help with funeral and burial costs, legal expenses, etc.

Houston Mayor John Whitmire declined to seek a city-led investigation into the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, saying there cannot be a city investigation while a federal investigation is ongoing.

“We’re monitoring it very carefully,” Whitmire said. "It’s truly a tragedy… But there’s no involvement with HPD.”

Whitmire said it was a tragic, complex issue and his prayers go out to the family and the community that “feels the pain.”

The announcement comes one day after a federal agent shot and killed Araujo, 52, during what authorities called a “targeted operation” in Houston’s Magnolia Park neighborhood. Federal officials said the agent acted in self-defense.

Ronaldo Salgado, the son of Araujo, described him as a construction worker who had lived in the United States for nearly 35 years.

“He was in the process of obtaining his work permit through the legal process,” Salgado wrote on social media. “He was on his way to work, picking up his workers. My father did not deserve this.”
