But… 3 #BorderPatrol agents fatally shot Mr. #Mattia as they came upon him…, hitting him 9 times, acc/to an autopsy. A Border Patrol report says he had tossed a sheathed machete toward an officer & then “abruptly extended his right arm.” His family said he was #unarmed & posed no threat.
His death has touched off an outcry on the #TohonoOodham Nation, which lies along 62 mi of the so border, & stirred up long-running resentments over the federal agency’s presence on #NativeAmericanTerritory.
