DALLAS — A Mexican citizen remained in grave condition after being shot at least four times in an attack earlier this week on a Dallas ICE office, his brother told a Spanish-language television network.
Miguel Ángel García Medina was shot in his flank, back, stomach and neck, his brother told KUVN, Univision 23.
“His wife tells me — because I don’t talk with the doctors — that he is in very bad shape and they want to disconnect him, because he is only living on machines; the machines are what is keeping him alive,” Fernando Gutiérrez told KUVN.
García Medina, a house painter living in Arlington who has been in the United States for two decades, remains hospitalized and in very serious condition after undergoing at least two surgeries, his brother said.
On Wednesday, Joshua Jahn, a 29-year-old unemployed Collin County man, shot at the ICE offices at 8101 N Stemmons Freeway in Dallas, killing one person and injuring two others. The attacker died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Federal authorities have yet to release the names of the two men injured in the shooting, but the Mexican government confirmed that one of its citizens was wounded in the shooting.
Gutiérrez said his brother was in custody, although he did not know the reason, and that García Medina was at the ICE processing center that morning to face deportation.
According to his brother, García Medina is originally from San Luis Potosí, located about 250 miles north of Mexico City.
Gutiérrez said their mother was deported two months ago and now the family is talking to a lawyer to try to get her to come see her son.
