GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Four cousins of Mario Coronado were arrested over the weekend by ICE officers in Wyoming, according to Coronado's family.
A family member of Coronado's confirmed to FOX 17 on Wednesday that the four were taken into federal custody shortly after 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 3 at a gas station at 28th Street and Clyde Park Avenue.
The family member said they had been commuting to work that morning and had stopped to buy coffee.
On Sept. 20, Coronado died in a car crash in Grand Rapids after fleeing from a traffic stop conducted by ICE. A 36-year-old man from Guatemala, he had been living in the country illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security, and was not the intended target of the stop.
