FBI Investigates Substance Found in Van of Fatally Shot Individual

The FBI has sought a search warrant to seize plastic bags containing "crystal-like substances" from the van of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was shot by an immigration agent last week. The FBI suspects the substances may be methamphetamine, while Ruby Powers, the attorney representing Araujo's brother, claims they are granulated salt used as a homemade electrolyte mix for outdoor workers in extreme heat. Powers has requested expedited testing to clear the names of those involved. The FBI's Houston office is investigating whether there was an assault on a federal law enforcement officer but did not respond to requests for comment. An application for the search warrant indicated the presence of small clear plastic bags with white substances, which the FBI believes could be methamphetamine based on their appearance. Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare has expressed skepticism about the FBI's suspicions and emphasized the importance of sharing test results with the public promptly.
