I'm no I'm Hassan Feld filling in for Sean Ramis-Ferrim while he's on vacation.

And just a warning, today's episode includes audio of gunshots and someone being killed.

We'll start in a moment.

So in June of 2010, a group of Mexican children were playing a game by the Mexican border.

They'd run up to the fence on the US side of the border.

They touch it and they'd run back.

And eventually a border patrol agent, his name is Jesus Mesa, showed up and detained one

of the boys.

What happened next is contested.

The government says that some people in the Mexican side of the border, including a boy

named Sergio Hernandez, start throwing rocks at Mesa.

Mesa drew his gun and he shot Hernandez in the face.

Surely thereafter a cell phone video emerged and it paints a very different picture.

The grainy footage shows the border patrol agent detained one man at gunpoint.

A woman's voice is saying that some of the boys had been throwing rocks, but the video

does not show that.

While he has the man on the ground, he points his gun towards the second person on the Mexican

side of the border.

As the boy peaked out, agent Mesa, 60 feet away or so on the US side, drew his gun, aimed

it at the boy and shot him dead.

The video then shows a body next to a column onto the bridge.

The issue in this case is what should happen to Mesa.
