DALLAS (AP) \u2014 A Mexican man who was among three people shot<\/a> at a Dallas immigration field office last week died Tuesday, becoming the second person killed in the attack, officials said.<\/p>\n

The family of Miguel \u00c1ngel Garc\u00eda-Hern\u00e1ndez said he died after being removed from life support, according to a statement provided through the League of United Latin American Citizens, a civil rights organization. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said Garc\u00eda-Hern\u00e1ndez died early Tuesday. The agency said he was 31, but LULAC said he was 32.<\/p>\n

Authorities have said the gunman in the Sept. 24 attack<\/a>, Joshua Jahn, 29, fired indiscriminately from a nearby roof onto the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and a van holding detainees in a gated area. Authorities have said Jahn hated the U.S. government<\/a> and wanted to incite terror by killing federal agents.<\/p>\n

No ICE personnel were hurt in the shooting, and Jahn fatally shot himself following the assault.<\/p>\n

Norlan Guzman-Fuentes,<\/a> 37, a detainee from El Salvador, was also killed. <\/p>\n

The attack happened as heightened immigration enforcement<\/a> has generated backlash against ICE agents and stirred fear<\/a> in immigrant communities across the country.<\/p>\n

Stephany Gauffeny, Garc\u00eda-Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s wife, said in the statement that her husband \u201cwas a good man, a loving father, and the provider for our family.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe had just bought our first home together, and he worked hard every single day to make sure our children had what they needed,\u201d she said. \u201cHis 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an earlier interview with WFAA television<\/a>, she said her husband was a \u201cgoofball\u201d who liked to make people laugh and was always willing to help people. <\/p>\n

Gauffeny is expecting their fifth child, LULAC said. <\/p>\n

Eric Cedillo, a Dallas attorney who has been helping Gauffeny since the shooting, said she had filed a petition seeking a green card for her husband. He said Garc\u00eda-Hern\u00e1ndez came to the U.S. when he was about 13 and has lived in the Dallas area since then.<\/p>\n

Garc\u00eda-Hern\u00e1ndez was being brought to the ICE facility the morning of the shooting after an immigration detainer was placed for him following an August arrest. Gauffeny told WFAA that he was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated and evading arrest in Tarrant County. She said the latter charge was dropped, and Cedillo said Garc\u00eda-Hern\u00e1ndez served time on the former. <\/p>\n

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that her administration helped Garc\u00eda-Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s mother with the necessary paperwork to allow her to travel to Dallas. Sheinbaum also said her government asked U.S. authorities for an investigation and that Mexico would get involved if there was any kind of violation of Garc\u00eda-Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s rights. <\/p>\n

Following ICE procedures, the detainees were restrained inside the van, an ICE official said, adding that federal agents ran into gunfire to remove them and render aid.<\/p>\n

Guzman-Fuentes\u2019 sister, Alba Rubida Guzman, said he left El Salvador when he was 17 years old and worked in the U.S. for two decades. <\/p>\n

After his detention he resigned himself to leaving the U.S. His wife planned to meet him in El Salvador, and then they both planned to move to Mexico, where her father had a construction job waiting for him, the sister told Channel 12 in Jiquilisco in south-central El Salvador.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe dedicated himself to work, his family, and whenever he could he helped us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
