A U.S. Border Patrol agent shot and killed a man believed to be an illegal entrant during a fight Friday afternoon west of Douglas, an official said.
Few details were available about the officer-involved shooting — the first by a Tucson Sector agent this fiscal year, said Rob Daniels, a spokesman for the agency.
Just after 3 p.m., the agent was responding to a call about a group of seven people who were crossing the desert southeast of the Paul Spur Lime plant, west of Douglas and south of Arizona 80, Daniels said.
Upon arrival, the agent took six of the seven people into custody without incident but then became involved in a fight with one man and subsequently shot him to death, he said.
Daniels did not have any information on what the fight was over nor would he say if the man, who was in his early 20s, had a weapon.
According to Daniels, it is not uncommon for one agent to have to handle a group of seven people.
The FBI is conducting the investigation. No further information was available late Friday.
