FBI is exploring a truck sideswipe accident causing border agent death
Dallas News reported this week, that the death of Border Agent Rogelio Martinez, may have been cause by a tractor trailer mishap.
The theory is; on November 18, the night of the death, it was unusually dark and moonless, with the agents standing outside their vehicle, when a tractor trailer struck men and knocked the two into a culvert .
Culberson County Sheriff Oscar Carrillo was one of the first responders and came up with the tractor trailer theory. He based this on the numerous accidents in the isolated area.
The agents were called to the area to investigate suspicious activity. They may have exited their vehicle to survey the area.
A spokeswoman for the FBI, Jenette Harper, confirmed that this is one of the scenarios being investigated, but that an attack by persons had not been ruled out.
Yet, she went on the call it an accident saying, “We’re doing our due diligence throughout the course of the investigation. The FBI role is to determine the facts in this tragic incident.”
Sheriff Carillo also said, when Martinez’ partner called for help, he did not say there was an attack, the agent reported “an accident”.
It is estimated 2-4 months will pass before a conclusion is determined.
