"Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, was shot five times by a border patrol agent in October while in her vehicle. She was charged with a felony after officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accused her of trying to ram agents with her vehicle. But the case was abruptly dismissed after video evidence emerged showing that an agent had steered his vehicle into Martinez's car."
"I don't know why the United States government has expressed zero concern for the sullying of Ms Martinez's reputation, Alexakis countered. The border patrol agent who shot Martinez, Charles Exum, was not wearing his body camera during the incident, according to Martinez's lawyer, but body camera video recorded by another agent and released on Tuesday showed the moments that led up to the shooting from inside Exum's vehicle."
Newly released evidence shows Gregory Bovino praised a federal agent who shot Marimar Martinez during an immigration crackdown. Martinez, a US citizen, was shot five times in October while inside her vehicle and initially charged with a felony for allegedly trying to ram agents. Video later revealed an agent steered his vehicle into Martinez's car, prompting dismissal of the charges. Lawyers sought public release of emails, texts and videos after a judge lifted a protective order. Messages show Bovino urged the agent to delay retirement. The shooting agent, Charles Exum, was not wearing his body camera; footage from another agent captured the moments before and during the shooting.
