TUCSON, Ariz. — The government's recent decision not to prosecute against U.S. Border Patrol agents involved in the fatal shooting of a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation, Raymond Mattia has left the Mattia family with more questions than answers.
Raymond's family and their legal team met with U.S. Attorney's Office representatives to learn about the investigation of the officers who shot and killed Raymond but received little information. The government declined to reveal why the officers fired 38 shots and which agencies they worked for. "The U.S. Attorney’s Office acknowledged that the Border Patrol agents made statements to the FBI, but they refused to reveal the details of those statements. And they further refused to answer the family’s questions stating that the meeting was not the appropriate time," according to a San Diego-based attorney representing the Mattia family, Ryan Stitt.
This case highlights concerns about law enforcement accountability and the need for greater transparency in such situations.Bivian Contreras is a real-time editor for KGUN 9.
