At Rest

Deadly force
Pedroza was at a birthday party on the Mexican bank of the Rio Grande when a Border Patrol boat tried to stop a man swimming to the United States. Partygoers mocked the agents. The agents shot at the partygoers, killing Pedroza. According to the Border Patrol, partygoers threw rocks at agents as they mocked them. The incident occurred days after agents in a boat had been shot at from Mexico.
