Tiano Meton, 25, was shot and killed on January 22, 2015, near the Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 10 in Sierra Blanca, Texas. The encounter began when Meton pulled into the inspection lane but did not stop; authorities say he then led agents on a 30-mile chase before coming to a halt. After he stopped, an agent reportedly yelled Gun and two agents opened fire. A pistol-shaped pellet gun was recovered from Meton’s vehicle.

The FBI identified Meton as the man shot and is conducting an investigation, assisted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s internal review team, the Texas Rangers, and the El Paso Police Department. The agents involved were placed on administrative leave. No arrests, charges, or related litigation have been reported.

The shooting has drawn questions about use of force at Border Patrol checkpoints and the procedures agents followed in this incident. If anyone witnessed the chase or the moments at the checkpoint, what did you see?
