The three victims of the shooting at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas on Wednesday have been identified.
Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, 37, died at the scene, according to Dallas County Medical Examiner records. He’s originally from El Salvador, KUVN-DT reported.
Family members and authorities have identified José Andrés Bordones-Molina, 33, and Miguel Ángel García-Hernández, 32, as the other detainees who were shot. They were critically injured when a sniper armed with a rifle opened fire at the ICE Field Office building from a nearby rooftop. The three men were inside a transport van.
Security footage from the ICE facility at 8101 N. Stemmons Freeway, obtained by KDFW-TV, shows two white vans in the building’s sallyport. Officers and detainees can be seen rushing out of one van as the shooting begins.
The surveillance video shows several detainees, whose arms and legs were shackled, being hurried into the building with the help of federal agents. Some of the detainees crawled to take cover inside the building.
Bordones-Molina is a Venezuelan national. Tarrant County court records list his home address in Euless. Authorities haven’t given any updates on his condition or the extent of his injuries.
García-Hernández, a Mexican national from San Luis Potosí, has been living in Arlington. He’s been in the United States for around 20 years and works as a painter, his brother told KUVN.
Fernando Gutiérrez said his brother was shot in the side, back, stomach and neck. He underwent two surgeries and is on life support.
“He is in very serious condition in the hospital. He is very ill,” Gutiérrez said, according to KUVN.
Family members have started a GoFundMe to help cover García-Hernández’s medical costs and help support his wife, who is expecting a baby.
The couple have four children and a fifth on the way, García-Hernández’s wife, Stephany Gauffeny, told Star-Telegram media partner WFAA-TV.
Her husband was shot eight or nine times and has not regained consciousness, Gauffeny said on Saturday.
The doctors “tell me that he might never wake up, or he might wake up, and if he does, they’re like we don’t know if he’ll be able to talk, to move,” she said. “We just don’t know.”
Her husband had been in the process of obtaining legal residency when he was arrested Aug. 8 on a charge of driving while intoxicated. He was moved from the Tarrant County Jail to the Dallas ICE facility on the day of the shooting, Gauffeny said.
The shooter, Joshua Jahn, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities have said. The 29-year-old North Texas man used a ladder to climb to the roof of a three-story office building near the ICE facility. He wasn’t a member of a political group, is believed to have acted without accomplices and expected to die during the ambush, according to evidence authorities recovered from his house and electronic devices.
Jahn intended to kill special agents and stir fear among their colleagues, investigators said. In what the region’s chief federal law enforcement official said was a “tragic irony,” Jahn ended up wounding two detainees and killing one.
No officers were injured in the shooting, but they ran toward the gunfire to try to help restrained detainees who were unable to get out of the van in which the victims were shot, officials said. There were other immigrants in the van besides the three who were shot, and officers brought them to safety, authorities said.
