Second migrant dies of wounds from shooting attack at Dallas ICE facility

A second migrant who was shot in last week’s attack on ICE’s office in Dallas has died, leaving behind a pregnant wife.

Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, a 32-year-old Mexican citizen, was one of three migrants hit with gunfire in the attack.

He was removed from life support and succumbed to his wounds, according to a statement from his family reported by The Associated Press.

“My husband Miguel was a good man, a loving father, and the provider for our family,” Stephany Gauffeny said in the statement. “We had just bought our first home together, and he worked hard every single day to make sure our children had what they needed. His death is a senseless tragedy that has left our family shattered. I do not know how to explain to our children that their father is gone.”

The League of United Latin American Citizens, which released the statement, said Ms. Gauffeny is expecting their fifth child.

A GoFundMe posting had been started by Ms. Gauffney’s sister to raise money for medical expenses. It has now been updated to raise money for his funeral and to help the family he left behind — and particularly baby expenses.

“Sadly, Miguel is not longer with us,” Gabriela Gauffney said in the Spanish-language post. “Thank you so much to everyone who prayed with our family.”

The campaign had a goal of $100,000 and had raised more than $62,000 as of Tuesday morning.

Stephany Gauffeny told NPR that her husband had been living in the U.S. since he was a teenager. She said she is a citizen and was hoping to get her husband naturalized.

Their children are ages 3, 8, 12 and 14.

Mr. Garcia-Hernandez had been arrested for driving under the influence on Aug. 8. According to news reports, Homeland Security said he had had previous convictions including evading arrest and fleeing police.

Joshua Jahn, 29, fired at the ICE office from a nearby building, spraying rounds indiscriminately. He hit three migrants.

One, Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, died that day. Local news identified him as a citizen of El Salvador.

The third victim has been identified in news reports as Jose Andres Bordones-Molina, a Venezuelan.

Jahn shot and killed himself at the scene.

Authorities said he had been following ICE activities and appeared to have been motivated by anti-ICE rhetoric. Indeed, an unfired round of ammunition found near his shooting perch had “Anti-ICE” written on it.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel had been transporting migrants to the office for processing when Jahn started firing. No ICE employees were struck in the attack.
