      Just that I got the video shoved in my face at work with zero warning when it happened. Mildly traumatizing. According to a Reddit post his name was Silvero Villegas-Gonzalas.

        I couldn’t find any videos of the pursuit or anything, just body cam footage of afterwards and the agent indicating that he wasn’t as injured as DHS had claimed. The agent shot him in the back of the neck and killed him. Completely unjustified. He had lived in the US since he was 18. Undocumented but not a criminal, just dropped his kids off at school, worked as a line cook.
        A sane country would have provided a path to citizenship or deported him back to Mexico instead of shooting him in the streets. No reason to escalate to a point where the agent is in danger and felt compelled to kill someone. Just let him get away and catch him at home. Worst case is that you don’t and he continues to be a productive member of society and make food for people. Shit drives me nuts.
