Men who were traveling with Carmelo Cruz Marcos, a 32-year-old Mexican migrant who was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent in southern Arizona earlier this year,
told investigators that the agent and his colleagues appeared to tamper with evidence and concoct a cover story following the fatal incident.
After months of silence in the case, the Cochise County Attorney’s Office announced on Monday that it had insufficient evidence to bring charges against the Border Patrol agent,
Kendrek Bybee Staheli, for the February shooting and that the agent’s actions appeared justified under Arizona self-defense laws. Late Wednesday night, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Department,
the lead local agency that investigated the case, released a 28-page file that formed the basis for the prosecutor’s decision.
In an interview with authorities, Staheli described fearing for his life during his encounter with Cruz, claiming that Cruz picked up a rock as he attempted to take him into custody, causing the Border Patrol agent to open fire. Staheli’s partner, who did not witness the fatal encounter, said Staheli was distraught after killing Cruz and asked to be held.
Migrants who Cruz was traveling with, later interviewed by county officials, provided a more chilling version of events,
with one claiming that the agents appeared to move Cruz’s body after he was killed and that Staheli’s partner told him things would be fine so long as Staheli said he was scared and that Cruz threatened him with a rock.
The case has sparked outrage in Mexico, with Cruz’s family alleging that the father of three was “assassinated” by U.S. border agents.
In an interview last month, an attorney for the family confirmed that they intended to file a lawsuit in response to the killing.
