El Paso, August 2 (RHC)-- The U.S. Border Patrol is facing a civil rights lawsuit for the 2012 shooting death of a Mexican teenager. Sixteen-year old José Antonio Rodríguez was killed after U.S. border agents opened fire on people throwing rocks from the Mexican side of the border.

José Rodríguez had ventured out to buy food and was shot eight times. At a news conference, Rodríguez’s mother demanded justice for her son. She said: "I believe that there must be justice; I don’t see why there shouldn’t be. You don’t need to be very intelligent to know that a murder was committed and they need to pay for what they did. Therefore, I am calm with respect to this because I know that the case will go on and on and it will take years. But I know that one day we will have justice."

According to reports from the U.S.-Mexico border, shootings involving U.S. border agents have killed more than 20 people since 2010.
