Second Dallas ICE shooting victim Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez dies

A second illegal migrant hit in the mass shooting at a Dallas ICE facility has died from his injuries, according to his “shattered” wife, who is expecting their fifth child any day now.

Mexican national Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, 32, was shot at least eight times during last Wednesday’s sniper-style attack and was rushed to Parkland Hospital in a critical condition before dying of his injuries, CBS News reported.

“My husband Miguel was a good man, a loving father, and the provider for our family,” his wife, Stephany Gauffeny, said Tuesday in a statement to the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).

“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,” she said.

Garcia-Hernandez, who was in the US illegally, was detained by ICE after being arrested on Aug. 8 for a DUI, Gauffeny previously said.

A GoFundMe page created by his family described the house painter as their sole provider.

Fellow detainee Norlan Guzman Fuentes, a 37-year-old from El Salvador, was pronounced dead at the scene of last week’s shooting. Venezuelan national Jose Andre Bordones-Molina was injured and has since been released from the hospital, the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office announced.

The Dallas ICE field office is expected to reopen on Tuesday with increased security.

It serves as a temporary holding facility for detainees, and in the first six months of 2025, it held an average of 47 people each day, CBS News reported.
