The following video provides information regarding a US Border Patrol involved shooting that occurred on September 23rd, 2024 in Laredo, Texas. Customs and Border Protection is committed to being a leader in law enforcement accountability and transparency. A portion of this incident was captured on a Border Patrol agent's bodywn camera.

The camera angle prevents viewers from seeing everything the agent or officer saw and experienced. Activation of the camera enables both audio and video. However, there is a continuous two-minute buffer of video without audio prior to activation. This feature is designed to capture incidents that occur suddenly where an agent or officer does not immediately activate their camera.
