An American Border Patrol Agent said he was defending himself when he shot 15-year-old Sergio Adrian Hernandez Huereka, a Mexican, last Monday. The boy's family mourned over his death on Tuesday. Adding to their discontent is the fact that the boy was shot on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande which divides The United States and Mexico.
Preliminary reports said that the patrol officers were on bike patrol when the events took place. The reports also said the officers had rocks hurled at them prior to them opening fire.
Mexican president, Felipe Calderon, said that further action would be taken to protect the rights of Mexican migrants. The boy's father, Jesus Hernandez, had this to say, "There is a God, so why would I want vengeance if no one will return him to me. They killed my little boy and the only thing I ask is for the law."
