Family of Mexican Teen Killed by Border Patrol Agent Demands Justice 6 Years After His Death
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the U.S.-Mexico border, the family of José Antonio Rodríguez marched
Wednesday to mark six years since the 16-year-old Mexican boy was
fatally shot in the head by a U.S. Border Patrol agent, who fired
through the border fence and killed the teenager as he was walking on a
sidewalk in Nogales, Mexico. This is his mother, Araceli Rodríguez.

Araceli Rodríguez: "My name is Araceli Rodríguez, the mother of José
Antonio. We're here because today marks six years since they
assassinated my son. We're marching, and we're demanding justice. That's
why we're here, because we're demanding justice, since six years after
the assassination of my son, there is still no justice."
