Mexican Teen Killed on Border Was 'Known Juvenile Smuggler,' Sources Say

Published June 09, 2010


The 15-year-old Mexican boy who was shot dead by a Border Patrol agent as U.S. authorities came under attack along the border Tuesday was known to authorities as a juvenile smuggler, sources close to the investigation told Fox News.

Sergio Adrian Hernandez Huereka was shot once near the eye as U.S. Border Patrol agents on bicycles were "assaulted with rocks" as they tried to detain illegal immigrants on the Texas side of the Rio Grande.

Huereka was charged with alien smuggling in 2009, according to sources who requested anonymity. Further details were not immediately available.

"He is a known juvenile smuggler," a source told Fox News. He was also on a "most wanted" list of juvenile smugglers compiled by U.S. authorities in the El Paso area, sources said.

Heureka's death marked the second time a Mexican citizen has been killed by a U.S. Border Patrol agent in as many weeks, stoking tensions along the border between the nations.

Roughly 30 relatives and friends gathered late Tuesday to mourn the boy, who died on the Mexican side of the river.

"Damn them! Damn them!" the boy's sister, Rosario Hernandez, sobbed at a wake in the family's two-room adobe house on the outskirts of Ciudad Juarez.

"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" to be applied, said the boy's father, Jesus Hernandez.

His mother was less hopeful. "May God forgive them because I know nothing will happen" to them," Maria Guadalupe Huereka said.

Border Patrol Special Operations Supervisor Ramiro Cordero said preliminary reports indicate that U.S. officers on bicycle patrol were "assaulted with rocks" by an unknown number of people before Herueka was shot.

"During the assault at least one agent discharged his firearm," Cordero said. "The agent is currently on administrative leave. A thorough, multi-agency investigation is currently ongoing."

A U.S. official told the Associated Press that video of the incident shows the Border Patrol agent did not enter Mexico.

The unidentified official said the video also shows what seem to be four Mexican law enforcement officers driving to the edge of the muddy bed of the Rio Grande, walking across to the U.S. side, picking up an undetermined object and returning to Mexico near the area where the boy's body lay. Like their U.S. counterparts, Mexican law officers are not authorized to cross the border without permission.

A Mexican migrant, Anastasio Hernandez, 32, died less than two weeks ago after a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer shocked him with a stun gun at the San Ysidro border crossing, which separates San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. The San Diego medical examiner's office ruled that death a homicide.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon said Tuesday that his government "will use all resources available to protect the rights of Mexican migrants."

The government "reiterates its rejection to the disproportionate use of force on the part on U.S. authorities on the border with Mexico," the president added in a statement.

"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" to be applied, said the boy's father, Jesus Hernandez.

Oh! So now you want the law to be applied. Well, you and your son should have thought about that before he crossed the US border smuggling for money to line your pockets.

Have you ever been in a courtroom anywhere in the US when an Hispanic is on trial.

Their whole family will testify they are angels, while the police bring in evidence including video of the gang assination.

Their culture lets the village raise their kids.

Hillary's old saying "It takes a village to raise a kid".

WOGWASH.......It takes two concerned parents with strict guidelines.

I had a feeling there was more to this!!!!! Any "good" kid is not going to be insolent as to throw rocks at an officer!

NO PITY!

They killed my little boy and the only thing I ask is for the law" to be applied, said the boy's father, Jesus Hernandez.

The law has already been applied, something Mexicans know very little about which is why they are complaining.

its called self defense.
plain and simple.

but this is el paso, so watch out for debra kanof in the US atty office. she is the one who led the prosecution of Ramos and Compean

Bad parents always blame someone else. Why didn't they know where their child was? Oh, my mistake, it was the family business and he was just making a delivery.

DRUGS or the money he just made from smuggling.

Why isn't Obama expressing outrage about a real incursion like Calderon does about fictitious torture?

Actually, Dixie, I was wondering if that "object" was a shell casing, since they are now claiming that they have a shell casing to "prove" the Border Agent crossed the river to shoot at the crowd, which the video disputes. Wouldn't surprise me to see the crooked Mexican authorities grabbing that shell casing and bringing over to dumb by the body to place false blame on the Border Patrol agent!

ALL border patrol agents carry federally issued 9mm weapons, as do the military
