A second witness to a fatal shooting in Houston by a federal immigration agent has been ordered released from custody after more than a month in detention.
Daniel Tirado Pantoja was one of three passengers riding in a work van when the driver, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national who ran a homebuilding business, was shot July 7. The Department of Homeland Security has said Salgado Araujo, who had lived without legal status in the U.S. for 35 years, had “weaponized his vehicle" and that the officer fired on him in self-defense.
