The autopsy report states that Raymond Mattia, Tohono O'odham, was the victim of homicide when shot nine times by three U.S. Border Patrol agents.

Ten years ago, Raymond told Censored News that he had videotaped local U.S. Border Patrol agents escorting drug cartels across the border with their drug loads. Raymond said after he submitted the evidence -- it disappeared.

During the years that followed, Raymond, who lived a short walk from the border, struggled to expose the U.S. Border Patrol running drugs through his community on the western side of the Tohono O'odham Nation.

On Friday and Saturday, during the same time that the autopsy and some of the agents' body camera results were made public of the Border Patrol's murder of Raymond Mattia, Censored News examined the air traffic south of the border.

Three aircraft entered the airspace of Mexico, ending their flights in a remote region of the Sonoran Desert south of the Arizona border in Mexico, according to Flight Radar 24.

Responding to the flight traffic on the south side of the border, one Tohono O'odham said, "Meanwhile, they're back to their trafficking business, after their kill."

A U.S. Border Patrol helicopter, a Colombian Aerotaxi departing from nearby Fort Huachuca Army base, and a U.S. Army helicopter entered the airspace of Mexico. Their flights ended just south of the border, south of Topawa on the Tohono O'odham Nation, in a remote region of the Sonoran Desert, across the border from Arizona, according to Flight Radar 24.

Censored News will follow with a report from Raymond's family regarding his murder, the autopsy report, and the body camera release.

A U.S. Border Patrol helicopter entered Mexico's air space, south of the Tohono O'odham Nation in Arizona, on Friday. Its flight ended in the area shown, in a remote area of the Sonoran Desert in Mexico on Friday, in the same area as a Colombian Aertotaxi departing from Fort Huachuca Army base and Army helicopter, according to Flight Radar 24. It began the flight in Tucson.


This plane, identified as belonging to Aerotaxi Casanare from the country of Colombia, entered the air space of Mexico on Friday, and landed in the same region as an Army helicopter and a Border Patrol helicopter, according to Flight Radar 24.  It departed from Fort Huachuca Army Base at Sierra Vista, Arizona, southwest of Tucson. Its flight ended in Mexico, south of the Tohono O'odham Nation in a remote region of the Sonoran Desert in Mexico.

Ten years ago, after Raymond Mattia, Tohono O'odham, described the U.S. Border Patrol running drugs through his community, I wrote this article.

Already, a Congressional hearing had heard of 130 arrests of U.S. Border Patrol agents for drug running, conspiracy and spotting for the cartels to bring their loads across. But the media coverage was so limited, one article in Epoch Times, that it took a hacker to expose the Congressional hearing.

We reported on the Congressional hearing after the hacker put the files of Arizona police online.

Raymond Mattia was murdered by the U.S. Border Patrol on May 18. Three Border Patrol agents shot him nine times. The medical examiner ruled it was a homicide.
