OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On April 2, a Border Patrol agent saw a man in an SUV drive through the checkpoint and followed the man along Interstate 10, when the driver of the SUV approached a closed vehicle gate near a home on Burris Ranch outside of Las Cruces, turned his vehicle around and stopped. Border Patrol agents reportedly exited their vehicles and approached the SUV, attempted to open the driver side door and tried to break the driver side window with a collapsible baton. Under assault, the driver drove away again. Agents had spike strips placed and flattened the vehicle’s tires and it stopped and the man exited the vehicle on foot along Dona Ana County Road C003. Agents chased after him on foot until he swung a wooden club at them multiple times. They shot and killed him with 16 bullets. He was not identified. Police state he had been a US citizen.
