Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was not the intended target in an ICE enforcement operation that ended with Salgado Araujo being fatally shot on Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia's office told KPRC 2 Thursday.

The information comes around the same time the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a new statement Thursday following the shooting death of Salgado Araujo by an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in east Houston on July 7. In the statement, DHS says their officers were conducting surveillance at a suspect's address after receiving a credible tip from law enforcement partners.

During the surveillance weeks prior to the shooting, DHS says officers noted two white vans on the property.
