Community members gathered in Magnolia Park to honor Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and demand answers after ICE agents shot and killed him.

Excerpt

On Saturday, community members gathered to hold a procession and vigil for him in Magnolia Park as they seek the truth about what happened.

Community members told ABC13 it was about honoring Salgado Araujo as well as all the immigrants who have helped build communities throughout Houston.

Rows of yellow construction hats and dozens of people marching arm in arm. A sign of support from people across the community as they took to the streets of Magnolia Park on Sunday.
