How they died
Deadly force
Agent Jesus Mesa Jr. fatally shot Guereca while arresting a man who tried to cross the border into the U.S. Guereca stood in Mexico, near the bridge Puente Negro. A voice in video of the shooting said, "Estan tirando piedras," or "They're throwing rocks." The distance of the shooting was slightly greater than the distance between two pillars that support the weight of the bridge. Agent Mesa had worked at the Border Patrol for seven years.
