ICE said Araujo allegedly rammed an ICE vehicle, ignored multiple verbal commands, and attempted to run over an agent. The agency said the agent fired his weapon in self-defense.
The Houston Fire Department said crews were sent to the scene at 6:51 am and found Araujo suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to Ben Taub Hospital while CPR was underway and later died, according to ICE.
The FBI’s Houston office is investigating if there was an assault on a federal law enforcement officer, while the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General is handling the investigation into the fatal shooting, FBI spokesperson Connor Hagan said.
