REASON FOR CHASE: U.S. Border Patrol agents initiated the pursuit in the Encinal area. Texas Department of Public Safety troopers subsequently joined the pursuit. The specific reason Border Patrol agents initially attempted to stop the vehicle was not established in the verified public records located.
.
NARRATIVE:
On 04/09/2022, one unidentified person was killed and four other people were injured when a vehicle crashed during a law-enforcement pursuit involving U.S. Border Patrol and the Texas Department of Public Safety near Encinal in La Salle County.
.
U.S. Border Patrol initiated the pursuit, and Texas DPS troopers subsequently joined it. The pursued vehicle crashed, killing one occupant and injuring four others. The available public documentation does not establish whether the person killed was driving or riding as a passenger.
.
The fatal pursuit was subsequently documented during an extensive review of Texas Department of Public Safety pursuit records conducted by Human Rights Watch as part of its investigation of Operation Lone Star. Human Rights Watch identified the April 2022 Encinal incident as one of the pursuits in which Border Patrol initiated the chase before Texas DPS became involved.
.
Records obtained and analyzed during that investigation showed that police pursuits increased dramatically in La Salle County after the beginning of Operation Lone Star. Human Rights Watch reported that DPS conducted 122 vehicle pursuits in La Salle County during the first 26 months of Operation Lone Star, compared with 17 pursuits during the preceding 12 months.
.
The available verified public-facing records located during this review do not identify the person killed, establish the decedent’s age, gender or role in the vehicle, identify the four surviving occupants, or provide a reliable pursuit speed, distance or duration.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Border Patrol agents who initiated the pursuit and the Texas Department of Public Safety troopers who subsequently joined it were not publicly identified in the verified sources located.
