It would appear that the video has been edited to remove the events leading up to the shooting (Since it is issued by the MSM, it’s just a typical smear job).
Hard to tell what is truly happening in this sequence.... The following is from another account.....

It all began shortly before 6 p.m. Monday, when agents began searching a truck lot just north of the All-American Canal for a group of seven suspected illegal immigrants.

Six were caught, but the seventh jumped into the canal, swam across and ran south back toward the border with agents in pursuit, Lozano said.

As the man ran toward the border fence, about five or six people on the Mexican side of the fence in Mexicali scaled the fence, jumped onto the American side and started throwing rocks at the pursuing agents, Lozano said. They also threw rocks at the suspected illegal immigrant running toward them, he said.

“They were just flinging rocks all over the place,” the agent said.

They also lit and threw a Molotov cocktail at the agents, said Lozano. The homemade bomb landed near the agents, but failed to explode, he said.

With agents closing in, the man being pursued picked up a large rock and turned toward the agents, with his arm cocked back to throw the rock, Lozano said.

“He was face-to-face with the agents, just feet away,” he said. At that point, one of the agents fired one shot from an M-4, a shorter version of the M-16 rifle. The man was hit and mortally wounded. He was taken to El Centro Regional Medical Center, where he died about 20 minutes later, Lozano said.

Of the six people caught in the truck lot, five were determined to be illegal immigrants and allowed to voluntarily return to Mexico, said Lozano. The sixth was found to have a misdemeanor warrant pending against him and was turned over to Imperial County sheriff's deputies, he said.
