According to KVOA Raymond Mattia called U.S. Border Patrol agents after he discovered illegal immigrants were trespassing in his yard. A family member told KVOA Raymond “called to request for assistance because there were multiple illegal immigrants who had trespassed into his yard and he wanted assistance getting them out of his property.”
According to the same family member who wished to not be identified, when Border patrol agents arrived to the scene Mattia exited his home and was shot dead shortly after

Once again, they show how incompetent they truly are.

There is almost no situation that can’t be made worse by adding cops.

He might have been committing the egregious capital crime of exercising his Second Amendment rights.

I am, always, sceptical of the first stories to come out and wait to form an opinion.
That said, LEOs do f**k up and there are bad ones.
If what is said is true, it's not good.

Would like to see what the vest cams recorded.
Do I think the police might have screwed up?
Yes.
Do I think the family member might not be telling the entire story?
Yes.
This is why I am a firm proponent of public servants (not just the law enforcement, all of them) being required to have all public interactions be recorded.

Way too short on details and too early to make a judgment on this. It says a few minutes passed between the time he exited his door and the time the shooting started. Could be he came out of his door, for whatever reason, armed to the teeth. Maybe not. None of us here have no way of knowing yet.

Just watch. At night, he walks out with a gun, probably angry, refusing to cooperate.
Border Patrol deals with lot of crossers every day. They don’t open fire just because they are out somewhere with a brown man in a lonely spot. There is more to this story.
