One thing is for sure: A mother of five was killed in her car by a U.S. Border Patrol agent near San Diego.
Why the agent opened fire last week on Valeria Tachiquin Alvarado, 32, remains the subject of an investigation and much debate in the heavily Latino suburb of Chula Vista, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Some witnesses say Alvarado must have been confused when an the agent in plainclothes approached her car, offering varying accounts of the incident.
But authorities say she was inside a drug den and left in her car when she hit the agent, who was dragged on her hood for 200 yards before he fired multiple rounds into her windshield, according to the LA Times.
The FBI and Chula Vista Police Department are investigating.
First it was 100 yards, now it’s 200 yards.
