Activists Demand Probe into Fatal Shooting of Mexican Man by Border Patrol
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In California, activists and community members in the border town of San
Ysidro are demanding justice and an investigation into the fatal
shooting of a 30-year-old Mexican man by Border Patrol last week. The
San Diego Union-Tribune reports the man, whose name has not been
released, had reportedly crossed into the U.S. when a Border Patrol
agent confronted him and shot him in the chest. He died before he could
be taken to the hospital. Activists say over 100 people have been killed
by U.S. border agents since 2010.
