Activists Demand Probe into Fatal Shooting of Mexican Man by Border Patrol

HeadlineOct 27, 2020

In California, activists and community members in the border town of San Ysidro are demanding justice and an investigation into the fatal shooting of a 30-year-old Mexican man by Border Patrol last week. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports the man, whose name has not been released, had reportedly crossed into the U.S. when a Border Patrol agent confronted him and shot him in the chest. He died before he could be taken to the hospital. Activists say over 100 people have been killed by U.S. border agents since 2010.
