Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, a 37-year-old man from El Salvador, was fatally shot on the morning of September 24, 2025, during a sniper-style attack on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office along North Stemmons Freeway in Dallas. He was in ICE custody in a transport van holding restrained detainees when gunfire erupted; officials and reporting identified him by name and confirmed his age. He died at the scene or shortly after.

Authorities said the shooter fired from a rooftop overlooking the complex and that two other detainees were wounded; Miguel Ángel García-Hernández was hospitalized in grave condition and later died on September 30, while Jose Andrés Bordones-Molina survived and was released from the hospital. Notes recovered by law enforcement were reported to reflect anti-government and anti-ICE sentiments and planning, and the FBI took the lead in the investigation as a case of targeted violence.

Guzman-Fuentes had worked in Texas’s tree-service industry and was transferred to ICE custody after a recent arrest in Dallas; relatives said he had discussed returning to El Salvador and his wife said he called from a local jail the night before to say he expected deportation. Community members held a candlelight vigil in his memory downtown, leaving flowers and hand-painted umbrellas. Does anyone have information about Guzman-Fuentes’s final movements or the circumstances of the transfer that morning?
