ICE Incident Map: Four Cases at a Glance


Maine. Virginia. Houston. Memphis. Four deaths inside the same federal enforcement climate — but not all four are ICE shootings, and the official story does not survive contact with the witnesses in every case. This is a reporter’s tool: named victims, sourced summaries, and a plain ethics column marking what is confirmed, what is disputed, and what is still unclear.

How to read this page responsibly

Every case here involves a death during, or in proximity to, federal enforcement activity. Not every case is a confirmed ICE shooting. Where DHS or ICE has publicly claimed the operation, that is marked confirmed. Where witnesses, court filings, or independent reporting contradict the federal account, that is marked disputed — but only the fact of the contradiction, not the verdict. Where the agency, motive, or key facts are not established in public reporting, that is marked unclear. Nothing here presumes criminal or civil liability; the goal is to preserve names and sources so you can write without overstating what the record supports.

The Four Cases

Biddeford, Maine

Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero

July 13, 2026

A 26-year-old Colombian father was shot in the head by an ICE officer during an immigration operation. DHS said he tried to flee in his car and the officer fired “fearing for public safety.” Sen. Angus King said DHS told him the man killed was not the intended target of the warrant and that agents were not wearing body cameras. Family confirmed the ICE agent as David Brouillette; a Washington Post report later flagged a Maine judge’s earlier ruling that Brouillette was “not credible” in a family-court proceeding.

What is confirmed / disputed / unclear

  • Confirmed ICE fired the fatal shot during an immigration enforcement operation.
  • Confirmed Guerrero was not the target of the warrant, per Sen. Angus King citing DHS.
  • Confirmed Agents were not wearing body cameras.
  • Disputed DHS’s framing that Guerrero “weaponized” his vehicle — Maine officials and family have called for an independent investigation.
  • Unclear Full identity and disciplinary status of the officer; DHS has not officially named him.

Norfolk, Virginia

Josué Castro Rivera

October 23, 2025

A 24-year-old Honduran gardener died on Interstate 264 in Norfolk after fleeing an ICE traffic stop and being struck by a pickup truck in the eastbound lanes at the Military Highway interchange. DHS identified him and confirmed the ICE pursuit; Virginia State Police reported the vehicle strike as the immediate cause of death.

What is confirmed / disputed / unclear

  • Confirmed ICE was pursuing Castro Rivera at the time of his death (DHS acknowledged).
  • Confirmed Cause of death was a vehicle strike on I-264, not a gunshot.
  • Unclear Whether ICE tactics (foot pursuit onto a live highway) will face any internal or state review.
  • Unclear Body-camera status and full agent identity.

Houston, Texas

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo

July 7, 2026

A 52-year-old Mexican construction worker was shot and killed by an ICE agent on Canal Street during an attempted immigration arrest. DHS said Salgado Araujo tried to ram an agent’s vehicle. Three passengers in the van — in signed statements filed in federal court — said two unmarked ICE vehicles struck the van from behind and the side, that the agents were never in front of the vehicle, and that a fatal shot was fired through the passenger-side window after the van had stopped. A CNN source later confirmed he was not the intended target of the operation.

What is confirmed / disputed / unclear

  • Confirmed An ICE officer fired the fatal shot.
  • Confirmed Salgado Araujo was not the intended target of the operation (source to CNN).
  • Disputed DHS claim that Salgado Araujo rammed an agent’s vehicle — three witnesses in sworn statements say ICE vehicles rammed the van first and no agent was in front of it.
  • Disputed The shot’s trajectory — witnesses say it entered through the passenger-side window while the van was stopped, contradicting a “defensive” framing.
  • Unclear Whether the officer will face administrative or criminal review; witnesses remain in ICE custody.

Memphis, Tennessee

Tyrin Johnson

July 5, 2026

A 20-year-old man — a former Tennessee State University student and young father — was shot and killed near Ida B. Wells Avenue and Union Avenue during a pre-dawn foot pursuit. Memphis Police were chasing a man they said had fired shots in the area; two Tennessee National Guard soldiers assigned to the federally-directed Memphis Safe Task Force joined the pursuit and fired the fatal rounds. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is the lead investigator. This is not, on the current public record, an ICE shooting — but it belongs to the same federalized-enforcement ecosystem this project is tracking.

What is confirmed / disputed / unclear

  • Confirmed Two Tennessee National Guard soldiers fired the fatal shots (TBI, on record).
  • Confirmed The soldiers were assigned to the federally-directed Memphis Safe Task Force.
  • Confirmed Memphis Police say Johnson was armed and had fired shots earlier; ABC News reported the guardsmen shot when he pointed a firearm at them.
  • Disputed Whether the National Guard should have been in a domestic foot pursuit at all — a policy dispute in public reporting, not a fact dispute.
  • Unclear The TBI investigation is ongoing; the district attorney has not yet made a charging or justification decision. Officer identities have not been released.
  • Unclear Any ICE involvement — none is established in accessible reporting. Framing this as an “ICE shooting” would overstate the record.

Reporter’s Ethics Checklist

Before you file

  • Name the victim. “One person killed in an ICE-involved shooting” is a press release, not a story.
  • Attribute the official account. “DHS said” and “ICE said” — never let their framing float as narration.
  • Attribute witness accounts the same way. Court filings, sworn statements, and named witnesses are the standard; anonymous “sources familiar” belong lower in the piece.
  • Distinguish agency. ICE, CBP, Border Patrol, National Guard, and local police are not interchangeable. Memphis is not Houston.
  • Distinguish cause of death. A shot fired by an agent, a vehicle strike during pursuit, and a fall during a raid are three different facts. Do not fold them into one word.
  • Say what is not known. Body-camera status, agent identity, and the outcome of any independent investigation are usually the missing pieces. Say so on the record.
