A suspect shot in the head and killed by a Border Patrol agent was not armed, the Arizona Daily Star reports.
The agent fired nine times, he said, after the suspect, Jose Luis Armbula, 31, turned towards him and gestured that he had a gun.
Border Patrol has been criticized for its deadly shootings, especially following a report late last week that accused agents of using excessive force dozens of times.
The Tucson sector already had two fatal shootings this year.
