Guatemala City, June 1 (RHC)-- In Guatemala, family members are demanding justice for Claudia Gómez González, the 19-year-old indigenous woman whom a U.S. Border Patrol agent shot in the head and killed last week in Texas near the U.S. border.
Claudia Gómez was studying in Texas and recently graduated from high school.
The Guatemalan Consulate has called for an investigation into Claudia’s death. Border Patrol initially claimed that the shooting occurred after an agent “came under attack by multiple subjects using blunt objects.”
But the agency later changed its story, saying that the agent was “allegedly assaulted.”
