“My husband Miguel was a genuine and loving person, a devoted father, and the backbone of our family,” his wife, Stephany Gauffeny, shared in a statement released by LULAC on Tuesday.
“We had just purchased our first home, and he was dedicated to ensuring our children never went without. His untimely death is a heartbreaking loss that has left us devastated,” the grieving widow expressed.
“I do not know how to explain to our children that their father is gone.”
Authorities reported that a shooter positioned on the rooftop of an adjacent building fired randomly at the ICE field office in Dallas, hitting three detainees who were inside a van at the facility’s secure entrance.
Norlan Guzman Fuentes, a 37-year-old originally from El Salvador, succumbed to his injuries on the day of the incident, ICE announced on Monday. Another detainee remains hospitalized, as per official reports.
The shooter, Joshua Jahn, 29, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound shortly after the shooting, authorities have said.
García-Hernandez, a native of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, had been residing in the US since age 13 and worked as a painter, Gauffeny earlier informed CNN.
On August 8, he was apprehended for allegedly driving under the influence and taken to a local jail. Immigration officers detained him the following day.
A source familiar with the investigation said GarcÃa-Hernandez was in the US illegally and was previously convicted of “giving fictitious information, evading arrest, driving while intoxicated, and fleeing police.”
