Border Patrol agents participated in a 68-mile relay run Thursday to honor fallen Agent Robert Rosas, who died in the line of duty on July 23, 2009, San Diego Patch reports.
It was the seventh annual relay to honor Rosas of the Campo Border Patrol station.
The relay race requires 22, 2.55-mile legs.
Rosas was often referred to as the “Mayor of El Centro” because of his “popularity and his friendly, witty demeanor,” Patch wrote.
Rosas was shot and killed while responding to suspicion activity near Campo.
Four people were arrested and have pled guilty for their role in the killing.
