Last month, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents shot and killed Raymond Mattia, a man of the Tohono O'odham Nation from Menagers Dam near the American side of the Arizona-Mexico border, after he had, according to his sister, called authorities for help after he was alarmed by what he thought were illegal immigrant trespassers on his property.
An edited presentation of agent bodycam video has now been released. The agents claim they believed Mattia to have a gun on him, though he did not. After reporting on the incident from The Intercept, it is not clear whether they were directly responding to Mattia's call, as The Intercept reports Tohono O'odham tribal authorities had called in the Border Patrol with reports of shots having been heard fired in the area.
