Videos Show US Citizen’s Shooting Death In Texas

WASHINGTON (AP) — Newly released videos showing the fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen by a federal immigration agent in Texas last year call into question assertions by the Department of Homeland Security that a driver intentionally rammed an agent with his car. The footage released Friday comes nearly a year after the death of 23-year-old Ruben Ray Martinez. His death was the earliest of at least six fatal shootings by federal agents since a nationwide immigration crackdown was launched in President Donald Trump’s second term. A friend who was riding in the car with Martinez told investigators the driver had not intended to harm federal officers but panicked because he feared getting arrested for driving while intoxicated.
