While authorities investigate the mysterious death of a Border Patrol agent in Texas, his family, friends and colleagues are preparing for the 36-year-old’s memorial service.
Angelo Rogelio “Roger” Martinez, who was responding to a triggered sensor on Sunday night in west Texas, was found with “traumatic head injuries” and broken bones. He died early Sunday from head injuries.
His partner, who has not been identified, also was found with head injuries and was in critical condition. They were found at the bottom of a ravine.
The union representing Border Patrol officers insist the agents were attacked with rocks, but the FBI is not so sure.
In the meantime, Martinez’s family is struggling to make sense of what happened.
“I loved him, and I miss him,” Elvia Martinez told CNN.
Visitation services are scheduled for today at from 5-9 p.m. local time at Martin Funeral Home in El Paso, followed by a vigil at 7 p.m. The funeral is set for Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church.
