Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero
Young father of a 3-year-old daughter, Dulce. Was on his way to his job cleaning a veterinary clinic. Had a pending asylum case and a work permit. Agents conducting surveillance tried to stop his vehicle; an officer fired as he allegedly tried to drive away. No body cameras. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin first claimed he was the target of a warrant, then admitted he was not the intended target. The family's attorney says a bullet pierced his daughter's car seat. Tom Homan acknowledged the officer may not have been properly vetted. The FBI declined to open a civil-rights probe; Maine's Attorney General is investigating. No charges.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo
In the U.S. 35 years. No criminal record. Father of three U.S.-citizen children; owned a small construction business with his family. Shot in the abdomen through his van window at ~6:50am while driving his crew to a job site. DHS admits he was not the target — agents were looking for someone else. Harris County's medical examiner ruled the death a HOMICIDE. No body cameras, and ICE says dashcam footage is "not available." Family disputes ICE's claim that he "weaponized" the van. In August, District Attorney Sean Teare said he will take the case to a grand jury; his office knows the names of the four agents involved, and says DHS is not cooperating.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti
ICU nurse at Minneapolis VA. No criminal record. Had valid permit to carry. Shot 9 times while on the ground. Video shows he was holding a phone, not a gun. Grew up in Green Bay, WI. Was an avid outdoorsman and competitive bicycle racer. The shooters were identified as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and CBP officer Raymundo Gutierrez; both were put on paid leave. DOJ opened a civil-rights investigation, but in October federal agencies stopped sharing evidence with Minnesota investigators again. No charges.

Renee Nicole Good
Mother of three. Writer and poet. Had just dropped her 6-year-old son at school. Shot 3 times by masked ICE agent Jonathan Ross. Time between first two shots: 399 milliseconds. Originally from Colorado Springs, graduated from Old Dominion University. Ross was reassigned out of Minnesota and has not been charged; DOJ declined to open a federal civil-rights probe. On Oct 1, 2026 her family filed two federal lawsuits, including a civil-rights conspiracy suit against Ross and Kristi Noem.
"She was pure love... pure joy... pure sunshine. We had whistles. They had guns." — Her wife, Becca
Keith Porter Jr.
Father of two. Shot by off-duty ICE agent Brian Palacios on New Year's Eve while firing celebratory shots in the air — a common tradition. Family says he posed no threat to anyone. Ten months later the Los Angeles DA still has not made a charging decision; the family has asked for a grand jury.
Isaias Sanchez Barboza
Mexican national wearing camouflage spotted near border. Fled on foot when agents approached. Agent claims 2-minute "active struggle" before shooting him 3 times. Pronounced dead at Starr County Hospital. The autopsy found a close-range chest wound; no weapon was found. He had no criminal history. In June 2026 a Starr County grand jury declined to indict the agent, Armando Flores. No agent has ever been convicted of a killing in CBP's 100-year history.
Silverio Villegas González
Father of two. Worked as a cook. Had just dropped his child at school. Shot in the back of the neck at close range. No criminal history. DHS claimed agent was "dragged" by car, but bodycam shows agent saying injuries were "nothing major." His sons are now in foster care. On Oct 8, 2026 his family filed a federal damages claim against ICE, DHS and the FBI.
"An avoidable tragedy... federal agents make life more dangerous for our neighbors." — Mayor Brandon Johnson
Ruben Ray Martinez
23-year-old U.S. citizen from San Antonio, shot by agents who were helping local police direct traffic after a crash. DHS said he hit an agent with his car, but body-camera footage did not support the ramming claim. ICE's role in his killing stayed hidden for almost a year, until FOIA records surfaced in February 2026. A grand jury reportedly declined to indict the agent.
