The man killed in Wednesday's shooting at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas was Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, according to the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office.
Guzman-Fuentes, 37, was one of three people shot during the early morning shooting at the facility on North Stemmons Freeway. Guzman-Fuentes, an ICE detainee, died on the scene, according to the medical examiner's office website. The office ruled his death a homicide.
Guzman Fuentes was from El Salvador, according to an ICE official who gave the information on background via the ICE media email and did not offer a name to whom the information should be attributed.
Two victims were hospitalized after the shooting. That includes Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez, whose family identified him through an online fundraiser.
Garcia-Hernandez is from Mexico, the ICE official said. The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed in a press release Wednesday one of the hospitalized victims is a Mexican national but did not specify whom.
García-Hernandez remains "in grave condition," according to the description on the fundraiser posted by his sister-in-law. García-Hernandez is the sole provider for his wife Stephany Gauffeny, who is pregnant with a baby "due to be delivered any day now," according to the site. The two have other children.
Jose Andres Bordones-Molina of Venezuela was the third person injured in the shooting, the ICE official said. ICE has not indicated whether Bordones-Molina is still in the hospital.
The ICE official said the three men have criminal histories but did not indicate when or why they were taken into ICE custody.
The suspected shooter, 29-year-old Joshua Jahn of Fairview, was also found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound on top of an immigration lawyer's building across from the ICE office. The medical examiner's office ruled his death a suicide.
The U.S. Department of Justice said in a press conference Thursday Jahn acted alone and intended to shoot and terrorize ICE agents. Notes authorities found at Jahn's home indicated he didn't intend to survive the shooting, according to Dallas FBI Special Agent Joe Rothrock.
Immigrant advocacy groups hosted a vigil for the victims outside Parkland Hospital Thursday. Immigration attorneys told KERA News that detainees who were being processed at the Dallas ICE office have been transferred to the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, about 30 miles south of Fort Worth.
This story has been updated with more information on the shooting victims.
