A second detainee wounded in last week’s shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office has died, according to the League of United Latin American Citizens.
Victim Identified
Miguel Ángel García-Hernández, 32, was taken off life support after being critically injured.
“Miguel was a good man, a loving father, and the provider for our family,” his wife, Stephany Gauffeny, said. “His death is a senseless tragedy that has left our family shattered.”
First Fatality Reported
The first victim, 37-year-old Norlan Guzmán-Fuentes, was pronounced dead shortly after the attack. Both men were struck when gunfire erupted outside the ICE office last Wednesday morning.
Shooter’s Target Was ICE Agents
Authorities said the gunman, identified as Joshua Jahn, opened fire on the building and an ICE van. Notes recovered after his death indicated he intended to target ICE agents, not detainees. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene.
Increased Security Measures
Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy E. Larson called the incident “tragic irony,” stressing that detainees became unintended victims. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons announced heightened security across all ICE facilities in response.
