U.S. Customs and Border Protection release body camera video of a May 18 shooting incident in which 58-year-old Raymond Mattia was killed by border agents on tribal land in Arizona.
earlier that day to report undocumented migrants on his property in the Tohono O’odham Nation’s reservation. CBP said its agents were there because of a request for assistance from Tohono O’odham police as they responded to a “shots fired call."
Frank Figliuzzi, an NBC News contributor who served as a civil rights supervisor for the FBI in San Francisco, said the video shows the officers made a mistake in thinking the cellphone was a firearm, but he believes it will ultimately be deemed a justified use of force given that officers were responding to a “shots fired call," the way Mattia pulled out his phone and the darkness of the environment, among other factors.
His family members say Mattia thought the agents were there to respond to his previous call about migrants on his property. Leading up to the shooting, as agents are spreading out to look for Mattia, one of them refers to Mattia as “this motherf-----.”
