TUCSON, Ariz. — Earlier this week, the U.S. Attorney's Office made a decision to not prosecute Border Patrol Agents in the death of Raymond Mattia, a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation, according to the Mattia family's attorney Ryan Stitt.

Border Patrol Agents, reportedly responding to reports of gunfire, were captured on body camera shooting Mattia multiple times, ultimately killing him outside his home on the reservation east of the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument back in May, reports say. "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," Stitt said in a statement.
