A man who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally was shot dead near Arivaca on Feb. 24.�
The man’s brother said he and his brother were traveling with a group of 10 other illegal migrants on Tuesday when sometime between 7 and 8 p.m. they heard gunshots.�
“The group scattered, but not before the reporting person saw his brother receive a gunshot wound to the chest and arm,” said Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Lt. Raoul Rodriguez. He said that the man left his brother to seek medical attention.�
“BORSTAR,” a Border Patrol search and rescue team was sent to look for the victim and Border Patrol air support also responded. At approximately 1:30 a.m. aerial reconnaissance located a “possible body” southeast of Arivaca Road. �
Rodriguez said the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division was waiting to be taken to the location to process the crime scene. The Arizona Department of Public Safety was to provide a helicopter to take them. Rodriguez added that the homicide was the second one this year and the first shooting of 2009. �
Border Patrol spokesperson Rob Daniels said he was waiting for information about the incident. When asked whether there were any special operations being conducted to deal with the spike of robberies, rape and other incidents of violence that have been occurring along the border in recent months, Daniels said he couldn’t say for sure.

Un presunto “burrero” originario de Choix, Sinaloa, de 27 años de edad, fue asesinado al norte de Nogales, Arizona, al recibir un par de disparos tanto en el pecho como en uno de sus brazos, luego de que junto a sus compañeros, entre ellos uno de sus hermanos, fueron asaltados por un grupo de “bajadores”.
El homicidio se registró la noche del martes, pero fue hasta la madrugada del miércoles, cerca de la 1:30 de la mañana, cuando las autoridades policiacas lograron dar con el cuerpo del hoy occiso, luego de implementar un fuerte operativo de seguridad.
El sheriff Marco Antonio Estrada informó que cerca de las diez de la noche del martes, agentes de la Patrulla Fronteriza se contactaron con los oficiales del Sheriffato del Condado de Santa Cruz, para informarles que acaban de detener a tres indocumentados, uno de los cuales presentaba varias manchas de sangre en su ropa.
El individuo le reveló a los agente que su hermano había sido baleado en una zona cercana al lugar de su detención, conocida como Bartolo Mountain, ubicada a unas doce millas al oeste de la Carretera Interestatal 19, y a unas nueve millas al norte de la frontera, en las inmediaciones de Arivaca, Arizona.
Los agentes del Sheriffato utilizaron un helicóptero del Departamento de Seguridad Pública del Estado de Arizona (DPS por sus siglas en inglés), para sobrevolar la zona, luego de que los agentes de la Patrulla Fronteriza lograron dar con el paradero de la víctima, pero además encontraron un arma de fuego y cinco paquetes de marihuana abandonados, los cuales presuntamente eran los que transportaban los presuntos “burreros”.
La División de Investigaciones del Sheriffato del Condado de Santa Cruz se encargó de interrogar al hermano de la víctima, como a sus dos acompañantes para obtener mayor información sobre este fatal incidente.

The situation in Mexico has serious consequences for our Rights, and even our lives here in AZ and all along the Mexican border. We cannot emphasize enough how much it is in our interest to have a free, safe and prosperous Mexico as our neighbor. Many of us have family, friends there and they are our neighbor.
We strongly support the Human Rights of the Mexican people to be able to defend themselves. That means the Mexican people should once again have the rights and resources to possess, bear and use modern and effective firearms. As over 70 years of corrupt federal government and it's attending gun control have shown, the bumper sticker is so true. "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". Mexico is a textbook example of the failures of gun control. While some very limited firearms are permitted on paper, and in practice, the real effect has been to disarm the good people of Mexico.
That was done by the very corrupt political party that ran a country rich in natural resources and people, into the ground to prevent a revolution, not to "control crime" as was the pretense.
As the archived reports will show, the defenseless people of Mexico have suffered way too much. They deserve much better. We need to help.
Given the gravity of the ongoing drug war in Mexico our neighbor to the south, ASR&PA has been working to monitor the border situation and it's many effects on our state and our members:
Including drug and human trafficking, with related issues of murders, kidnappings, home invasions, extortion, destruction of wildlife habitat, illegal immigration, white slavery, money laundering, expenses of incarceration and medical treatments, the list goes on and on. Also de facto cession of areas of the state to the DTO's; fugitives, cash, firearms and ammunition running south. Most of these issues could be significantly reduced by simply securing the border.
To get it out of the way, ASR&PA does support legal immigration, trade, and travel between our countries. Especially so that we and our Mexican neighbors can once again freely and safely travel to our neighboring countries for competition, training, hunting and just enjoy good company.
