Type of Activity: Telephonic Interview with Rene Sanchez

Case Number: I05-BCBP-ELP-07117
Case Title: Unknown Border Patrol Agent

(snip)

On March 10, 2005, at approximately 11:45 PM, BP Agent Rene Sanchez, Wilcox Border Patrol Station, Arizona, telephonically contacted Special Agent Christopher Sanchez, DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG), Office of Investigations, El Paso Resident Office, and provided the following information.

Rene Sanchez stated that Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila's mother, Marcadia Aldrete-Davila, contacted Rene Sanchez' mother-in-law Gregoria Toquinto and advised her about the BP Agent(s) shooting Aldrete-Davila. Toquinto told her son-in-law Rene Sanchez of the incident and he spoke to Osbaldo via a telephone call.

Osbaldo told Rene Sanchez that he was attempting to return to Mexico after a BP Agent caught him entering the United States illegally. Osbaldo told Rene Sanchez that the BP Agent that stopped him was a Hispanic male and that Osbaldo believed he could identify him because he would not forget the face of the BP Agent that shot at him and called him Mexicano mierda, which means "Mexican Shit." Osbaldo told Rene Sanchez that he heard five or six gunshots before he eventually was hit in the groin. Osbaldo told Rene Sanchez that he was shot on the United States side of the Rio Grande River.

Rene Sanchez said that his mother in law Gregoria Toquinto went to Mexico to help her friend Marcadia take her son Osbaldo to the Mexican consulate to report the shooting incident. However, Osbaldo declined to go. Marcadia advised Toquinto that Osbaldo did not want to report the incident because he had actually been transporting a load of marijuana and was afraid the Mexican and/or U.S. authorities would put him in jail.
