David Angel Villalobos Valdovinos, 30, of San Diego, was fatally shot on October 23, 2020, near the Las Americas Premium Outlets in San Ysidro. The shooting involved U.S. Border Patrol Agent Ryan Gonsalves, who approached Villalobos around 5:30 p.m.; according to the family’s lawsuit Villalobos was unarmed, had mental and developmental handicaps, attempted to flee, and was shot in the chest and died at the scene. The San Diego Police Department released a different account, stating Villalobos was believed to have entered the country illegally and fought with the agent before the shooting.

Villalobos’ family filed a wrongful death suit in federal court on behalf of his wife and son, alleging Gonsalves failed to use non-lethal means, unnecessarily escalated the encounter by pointing a firearm, and that other agents who arrived did not provide proper first aid. The case has drawn scrutiny over Border Patrol use-of-force and handling of encounters with people who have disabilities.

Does anyone have information about witnesses, surveillance video, or first-responder actions from that evening?
