A CBP vehicle operated by agent Charles Exum appeared to swerve into a car driven by a Chicago woman before Exum shot her five times, according to newly released footage.
A CBP vehicle operated by agent Charles Exum appeared to swerve into a car being driven by a Chicago woman before Exum exited his vehicle and shot her multiple times, according to new video footage released in the case.
The footage appeared to be at odds with government claims that the agents were rammed by the car driven by Marimar Martinez, who survived after being shot five times by Exum.
Body camera footage and other evidence was released Tuesday after a federal judge last week granted a motion to permit the public release of the materials in the case.
Four hours after the incident, Customs and Border Protection commander-at-large Greg Bovino appeared to praise Exum, according to newly released emails.
"I'd like to extend an offer for you to extend your retirement beyond age 57," Bovino's email said in part. "In light of your excellent service in Chicago, you have much yet left to do!!" The message did not reference the incident.
