Open records summary :
On January 24, 2024, U.S. Border Patrol El Paso Sector dispatch broadcasted to agents a sighting of six or seven possible migrants on foot near the SR-185 USBP checkpoint. CBP from the Las Cruces Station responded to the area in a Mobile Video Surveillance System truck. Additionally, CBP driving a marked vehicle and a Border Patrol agent K9 handler driving an unmarked K9 unit also responded to the area.
CBP agents in both marked and unmarked truck saw a vehicle speeding by and noticed that there was a male driver, a female passenger, and multiple passengers in the back seat sitting on top of one another, indicative of migrant smuggling. CBP chased the vehicle at high-speed and attempted multiple aggressive tactics to stop the vehicle until it finally rolled over in a crash at high speed. CBP found a conscious and injured woman who had been ejected and an unidentified woman in the back seat of the sedan with visible injuries. She died in the process of resuscitation. She was only identified as a citizen of Guatemala.
