The Harris County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that a substance found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo‘s van tested negative for narcotics and other illicit drugs. One of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s sons, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Jr., who spoke at the hearing, said that the idea that there may have been drugs in the vehicle “is absurd.” The Department of Homeland Security previously said Lorenzo Salgado Araujo tried to evade arrest and “weaponized his vehicle” before the shooting. A lawyer for the men who were with Lorenzo Salgado Araujo when he was shot said they told him Lorenzo Salgado Araujo did not veer in the officer’s direction. DHS said Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was not a target of the immigration operation being carried out.
