Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday broke his silence about the fatal Immigration and Customs Enforcement shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican citizen who lived in the Houston area for decades, saying that “any loss of life is tragic.”
Speaking to reporters, the governor confirmed that the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Rangers, the state police’s investigative division, will probe the shooting with federal authorities, after days of Democratic and civil rights leaders in Houston calling for just that.
