"A Mexican teenager convicted in the execution-style murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in July was sentenced to 40 years in prison Thursday after an emotional hearing in a courtroom packed with family members and dozens of Border Patrol agents...prosecutors recounted the grisly details of how Castro-Alvarez and two other assailants ambushed Agent Robert W. Rosas Jr., 30, on a remote border trail east of San Diego.....
The whereabouts of Castro-Alvarez’s companions, men in their mid- to late 20s, are unknown. Castro-Alvarez and the two men, after crossing the border on the night of July 23, held up Rosas and took night vision goggles and other items from his vehicle. When Rosas, a father of two, tried to take the gun from Castro-Alvarez, a struggle ensued....
Rosas was shot multiple times in the head. Castro-Alvarez was shot in the hand. The teenager, who said he fired only one round, claimed that the other two men executed Rosas. All three escaped by fleeing over the border. Castro-Alvarez was only assailant apprehended, tried and sentenced."

Here my comment: We have an epidemic of US-Mex Border Violence with agents getting shot/attacked yet the MSM( except FOX News to their credit) and Obama adm have put a veil of silence over the vicious attacks upon US border agents and innocent folks by vicious cartel criminals/smugglers. The two other assailants/murderers escaped and are still in hiding in Mexico. In two decades several hundred thousand criminal illegal border crossers have committed capital crimes such as this and have fled across the border back to Mexico; sometimes they are caught by Mex authorities; sometimes they evade capture.
