Miguel Ángel García Hernández, Mexican migrant wounded in attack on ICE center, dies

A second detainee wounded by gunfire in an attack on an immigration office in Dallas last week has died, his family announced Tuesday.

In a statement shared by the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the family confirmed that Miguel Ángel García-Hernández, 32, succumbed to his injuries after being removed from life support.

The Mexican man was one of three detainees wounded by gunfire in the September 24 attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas. That attack left one man dead and two other detainees seriously wounded. Authorities previously identified the man who died in the attack as Norlan Guzmán-Fuentes.

Authorities have said the gunman, Joshua Jahn, 29, fired indiscriminately from a nearby rooftop. They said he hated the U.S. government and wanted to incite terror by killing federal agents. No ICE personnel were injured in the shooting, and Jahn committed suicide after the assault.

“Mi esposo Miguel era un buen hombre, un padre amoroso y el proveedor de nuestra familia”, declaró Stephany Gauffeny en el comunicado. “Acabábamos de comprar nuestra primera casa juntos, y él trabajaba duro todos los días para asegurarse de que nuestros hijos tuvieran lo que necesitaban. Su muerte es una tragedia sin sentido que ha dejado a nuestra familia destrozada. No sé cómo explicarles a nuestros hijos que su padre se ha ido”.
