New Videos Challenge DHS Shooting Account

Newly released videos are challenging the Department of Homeland Security story about the fatal shooting of 23-year-old U.S. citizen, Rubin, Ray Martinez, by a federal immigration agent in Texas.

Martinez and a friend had been drinking and smoking marijuana during a spring break trip from San Antonio. They approached a busy intersection with a car crash where local police and three Homeland Security Investigations agents were directing traffic.

Videos capture the car slowing almost to a stop before inching forward as agents approached, shouting commands. The shooting agent fired three shots through the driver's window, later saying he feared a mass casualty attack like a recent truck ramming a new. Orleans.
