A second illegal migrant hit in the mass shooting at a Dallas ICE facility has died from his injuries, according to his “shattered” wife, who is expecting their fifth child any day now.
Mexican national Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, 32, was shot at least eight times during last Wednesday’s sniper-style attack and was rushed to Parkland Hospital in critical condition before dying of his injuries, CBS News reported.
“My husband Miguel was a good man, a loving father, and the provider for our family,” his wife, Stephany Gauffeny, said Tuesday in a statement to the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).

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,” she said.
Garcia-Hernandez, who was in the US illegally, was detained by ICE after being arrested Aug. 8 for a DUI, Gauffeny previously said.
A GoFundMe page created by his family described the house painter as their sole provider.
Fellow detainee Norlan Guzman Fuentes, a 37-year-old from El Salvador, was pronounced dead at the scene of last week’s shooting.
Venezuelan national Jose Andre Bordones-Molina was injured and has since been released from the hospital, the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office announced.
