(El Paso, TX) — FBI agents investigating a Border Patrol agent’s death are taking a close look at two brothers said to be human smugglers.
Border Patrol agent Rogelio [[ roh-HAY-lee-oh ]] Martinez was fatally injured as he and his partner patrolled Interstate 10 east of El Paso last month.
His partner was seriously injured and has no memory of the incident. An informant told the FBI the brothers had talked about assaulting the agents. The Border Patrol union has said it believes the two were ambushed.
The local sheriff’s office has said the agents’ car might have been accidentally sideswiped by a semi.
