TUCSON, Arizona (AP) — The mother
of a Mexican teen who was shot to death by a U.S. Border Patrol agent
nearly two years ago sued the agency on Tuesday, saying her son was
walking home after playing basketball with his girlfriend and friends
when he was hit in the back by 10 bullets.
Jose Antonio
Elena Rodriguez, 16, was in Nogales, Sonora, near the tall, steel fence
that divides the United States and Mexico when a Border Patrol agent
shot him from Nogales, Arizona, on Oct. 10, 2012. An autopsy shows the
teen was shot at least eight times.
The
Border Patrol has said Elena Rodriguez was among a group of people
throwing rocks at agents across the border, endangering their lives.
