said in a statement.

The other side:

The family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the League of Latin American Citizens and local lawmakers held a news conference Wednesday.

Ronaldo Salgado, Lorenzo's son, gave an emotional statement to the press.

What they're saying:

Ronaldo took to Facebook after the shooting and said his father was picking up workers on his way to his construction job on Tuesday morning.

He says his father has been in the U.S. for nearly 35 years and was in the process of obtaining his permit through the legal process. He was married and had three sons.

During the press conference on Wednesday, Ronaldo remembered his father as a  hardworking family man  who  wanted nothing else in life but to provide for his wife and see his sons become great people. 

 After nearly 35 years of working to give us the American Dream, he made the choice to begin the process of attaining his American Dream through a work permit. We dotted every I, crossed every T, filled every document, attended every appointment. He was close to obtaining his legal status,  Ronaldo says.

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia noted that Salgado Araujo had no criminal record.

Several lawmakers joined Ronaldo in calling for a transparent investigation.

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia said,  We need to know why Lorenzo was targeted. We need to know who authorized the operation. We need to know what threat agents believe they faced. Again, 35 years, Houston resident, no criminal record. What threat were they fearing? We need to know whether de-escalation was attempted. And we need to know when this family will get answers, when this community will get answers. 

She added,  I'm not here to prejudge anything. I'm here to make sure that facts are not buried, that Lorenzo's family deserves answers and my constituents deserve answers. We all Americans deserve answers.
