A second detainee who was shot at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility on Sept. 24 has died of his injuries, according to a Latino civil rights organization that represents his family.
Miguel Ángel García-Hernández, 32, was one of three detainees who were shot by a gunman stationed on a nearby rooftop on Sept. 24 and had been in critical condition in the hospital. He died after being removed from life support, the League of United Latin American Citizens announced on Sept. 30.
"My husband Miguel was a good man, a loving father, and the provider for our family," his wife, Stephany Gauffeny, said in a statement provided by 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."
García-Hernández leaves behind his wife and four children, with a fifth on the way. Gauffeny previously told USA TODAY her husband was taken into ICE custody following a DUI but had plans to remain in the United States and keep his family together.

"He was feeling happy," Gauffeny said of the last time she spoke to García-Hernández in a Sept. 23 phone call. He would be coming home.
Authorities identified 29-year-old Joshua Jahn as the suspect who climbed up onto a roof nearby and fired at the ICE facility, striking the detainees in a van in a sally port, before taking his own life. According to federal officials, the suspect was targeting ICE agents.
Norlan Guzmán-Fuentes was also fatally shot in the attack, according to public records and LULAC.

Gauffeny said her husband was shackled and restrained in his hospital bed after being shot, his face was swollen and he had staples in his forehead with dried blood on his face, neck and bedsheets. He had been shot about eight times in the shoulder, stomach, tailbone and neck, causing a stroke.
"It was just awful to see him like that," she told USA TODAY.
Eric Cedillo, national legal advisor at the League of United Latin American Citizens, previously said that despite the DUI infraction, García-Hernández had been trying to get permanent residence and was brought to the USA as a teen from Mexico. Gauffeny, who is a U.S. citizen, had sponsored him for an I-130 visa, which was initially approved, Cedillo previously told USA TODAY.
"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," Gauffeny said in the statement provided by LULAC.
