In Houston's East End, a man named Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was fatally shot by federal immigration agents, and the moral and legal weight of that death now rests on a chemical test. His attorney insists the bags recovered at the scene contained salt, not narcotics — a claim that, if confirmed, would strip away any justification for lethal force and force a reckoning with how and why the encounter escalated. It is a moment that reminds us how fragile the line between evidence and assumption can be, and how much of justice depends on what a laboratory ultimately says.
