[Music] what is your entire title sir special agent homeland security special agent for homeland security security investigation and uh how long have you worked for homeland security uh transferred over here in february no january 3rd 2010. eleven years okay any other law enforcement uh part of that i was uh i crowned border patrol okay and probably that was a probationary what happened today um so uh let me just let you know that this interview is totally it's voluntary you don't want to you're not compelled to say anything to us this is just to uh basically talk to witness witnesses in any fashion however they were involved okay so doors closed for privacy purposes uh anytime you can terminate the energy okay okay uh but before we go any further did you find any of your duty weapons today no okay um so uh sir i mean if you could if you can just kind of uh tell us your involvement with what happened today so um i was the uh backup uh undercover agent in this case i was backing up the primary agent richard davis okay and i mean that's pretty much it um i know we got there had a surveillance at the first house and they let us know and then i think they made some communications with him undercover their primary encouragement did okay and i was just pretty much if there was anything significant now that uh the other the cover team and the arrest team and all i know what was going on oh we already we spoke with the agent yeah there was like i guess there was some something uh abide that happened last thursday were you a part of that yeah how was the uh backup page okay um and the uh the target on this from last week's and today's deal do you know the name who was slipping in my mind right now but yeah i know we you know he's like you know him or just know that i can if i see his face have you dealt with them before no not before last week not before lesson no i was yeah did you have any uh communication with with the target no no i didn't i was just my my i was just like uh like i said of the backup undercover agent okay and uh i was just like turning over the money and picking up the drugs kind of deal so you know to avoid a rip and that kind of stuff okay did you hear any uh communication between especially uh tears and the target today yeah yes can you kind of stop it yeah it's and i don't i'm gonna say i remember everything you know it's just very general um i know uh when he called and we already knew those in the world because i called this and told that he was on a 9 10 right then he uh he called and uh something to the fact that he had gotten stopped but he didn't he didn't give him a chance to figure out what was going on okay and uh during that time so they had the conversation and then you know that he said he was on his way to las cruces that he had a head start whatever um but uh and then during that time i asked him did he just see somebody and right about that time i got a text message too that he had shot somebody but we didn't know what was going on i was like what the hell's going on um and just just the way he said it made me think that that he had shot because he said i didn't give him a chance to find out what's going on and uh yeah because we knew he was uh dude well i mean uh and i'm not familiar with like uh you know how you guys look obviously look like the backup uh the backup uc's i mean are you part of any type of operations planning like calling units for uh like surveillance or it was uh i would have given the takedown signal okay if he made it to so i think the the whole the way it was set up was um when he left deming if the opportunity arose and they could do a felony traffic stop with assistance from state police state police would initiate a felony uh traffic stop okay and it was our understanding that we're gonna have at least uh two vehicles because uh we we had uh we had uh expressed that this guy was dangerous and always armed so uh the if the felony stop could could be affected on i-10 and it would be that if he they didn't see him or somehow he made it to las cruces then we would go to the second part of the operation which would be at the tna and he'd park right next to us something like that and then our primary uc would engage him and i would be i'll go to the back of the vehicle uh try to you know like him have a compartment and pull out the money then we're gonna call him out of the vehicle to go look at the money and stuff like that and bring the dope with him and when when he would make it to the rear of the vehicle we would kind of step away a little bit to give the uh and we'd give the signal and step away so the takedown team could arrest us so that was kind of in general over the time so i just want to make sure i heard you right um so between demi and cruces if the opportunity arose so to come to somebody traffic who is going to make that call to to make a stop order uh i would assume uh state police if they had the opportunity to make that call so was state food support of uh like the briefings or like do you know if anybody was in contact with them i'm trying to figure out like someone was trailing him or something like that um there were i think state police i was i think him and uh some of the demons briefed separately from from the group over here okay because we had two groups like uh the one that would if there was a felony stop and then i know our srt team had a couple of developments that were going to go out and meet qrf if there wasn't any traffic stop that would respond to assist and then we briefed everybody that would have been part of the uh plan over here here in las vegas so i had a briefing over there with the state police and some of the dimming ages we had a briefing over here but between hsi and state police there was communication at different rooms okay there's a separate group of agents yeah because okay that was part of it was like uh if part one if part one of the plan took place then they would address it over there yeah and part two then we would come into the picture okay two parts to that plan just a back up kind of deal see uh you know how we could arrest this guy um who who uh what what agent contact where we're just trying to find out how many people we need to interview and like we need like we're trying to compile this amazing stuff yeah you mentioned that you got a text that yeah somebody was shot yeah yeah andrew and drew what was the last fight fy f-i-e i believe yeah he texted me and said that uh officer had been shot gotcha right about the time we were talking to him that that he called in and was telling us that that he had been stopped and uh he didn't give him a chance to uh to fight to figure out what was going on so he said something to that effect that came to the exact words but he says something to that effect and uh right about that time i think within a minute or two i got the text message okay because i was next to uh the primary you see talking when he was talking to the perp on the phone because you know listening and stuff and trying to advise people you know andrew's uh an agent special agent with okay um when you were communicating with uh jim brazilian being omar with the with the target omar okay um what was he speaking uh spanish spanish yeah he was talking to spanish okay i didn't i didn't really talk with him i just listened to your listening as far as what you heard that's okay perfect okay um like i said i was just like right really it wasn't the primary agent i was just trying to there i was there for supporting that you know the deal went down in the morning did you guys do briefing in el paso as far as when this was set up no we did it here in australia um nothing i can think of right now okay um i think uh we are all aware of uh that this individual was pretty dangerous but i don't know i don't know how did you know that one how did you know that he was dangerous aside from yeah it served twelve years that's our tours and then uh the last meeting he had uh he was armed he was armed yeah well i'll give you uh leave my card okay on the back if you think of anything today tomorrow next week do you think remember things give me a call okay i'll do that um and then uh once let me turn off our recording equipment then i'll just take a contact for you in case you have any questions that's okay good um so call it yeah 403.
