A U.S. Border Patrol agent shot and killed a man in southern Arizona following a struggle between the pair, the Associated Press reports.
Authorities were tracking a group of people Thursday night on suspicion of being in the country illegally.
While two of the suspect were apprehended, a third escaped. He was found under a mesquite tree and began fighting the agent and trying to steal his gun, the AP wrote.
The man is believed to be in his 20s. He died at the scene, the AP reported.
The shooting is under investigation.
