OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 03/03/2024, in the early morning hours, U.S. Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) agents were conducting operations in the Puebla Tree area of the Otay Mountains, approximately five miles east of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. This area had recently experienced armed robberies and assaults targeting migrants crossing into the United States.

BORTAC agents were strategically positioned, with a small group concealed about 70 yards north of the border along a ravine near a paved road, and a precision marksman stationed on high ground approximately 275 yards away, providing overwatch. Witness accounts indicate a group of migrants was walking on the paved road when they were approached by four individuals, at least one armed with a handgun. The armed individual demanded money, chambered a round, and pointed the weapon at one of the migrants. At that moment, the BORTAC precision marksman fired one round, striking the armed individual.
.
The migrants reported hearing a single gunshot and saw the assailant fall but were unaware of the shot's origin. No other injuries were reported. A handgun was recovered near the individual. Agents apprehended 17 migrants in the area, while three other individuals, possibly armed, fled into Mexico.

The San Diego County Sheriff's Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility are investigating the incident. CBP's National Use of Force Review Board will review the case upon conclusion of the investigation. The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General has been notified.
