Officer(s) : Not Disclosed
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
A Border Patrol agent from the Las Cruces Station responded in a Mobile Video Surveillance System truck, along with another agent in a marked vehicle and a K9 handler in an unmarked unit.The K9 unit tried to traffic-stop the vehicle. At least 2 CBP units chased the vehicle. The agents admitted that they turned off their lights and sirens due to bad weather. The logic of this explanation is not clear. Police allege they briefly lost sight of the vehicle and found it crashed. This is a common explanation in police hunting migrants and other vehicles as it shifts responsibility away from officers who “lose” a vehicle they are chasing moments before a fatal crash. One Guatemalan woman died in the crash. It is unclear why police hunted the vehicle.
