A second detainee who had been wounded by a sniper in a shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas last week has died of his injuries, an ICE official said yesterday.
The deceased man was identified as Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, 32, whom media accounts say was a house painter who came to the US as a child. Another detainee was killed at the scene of the September 24 sniper attack.
A third victim remains in a hospital, according to media accounts that the ICE official declined to confirm.
The shooting took place two weeks after Charlie Kirk, co-founder of the conservative student political group Turning Point USA and a close ally of Trump, was shot and killed by a rooftop sniper during a speaking event in Utah.
His killing has fuelled fears that a recent wave of political violence in the US could accelerate.
A GoFundMe page set up for Garcia-Hernandez’s family said he was the sole provider for his wife and children. His wife was expecting a baby ‘due to be delivered any day now’.
