Officials have stated that US immigration enforcement officers killed the wrong person during a traffic stop in Houston, Texas. Authorities said Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican man, died after agents opened fire having wrongly believed he was a separate suspect they were pursuing.

The shooting has triggered public demonstrations and new pressure for an outside investigation into the operation. Mexico's government has said it will push for criminal inquiries into the deaths of Mexican citizens during US immigration enforcement actions.
