Federal officers who shot and killed a Houston father on 7 July were not wearing body cameras, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has blamed back-to-back government shutdowns for the gap, leaving investigators without official footage of the deadly encounter.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old construction contractor from Mexico, died after a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer opened fire during an attempted vehicle stop at around 6:50 a.m. on Canal Street in the city's East End. The Harris County medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.
