U.S. Border Patrol Agents who Murdered Raymond Mattia, Tohono O'odham, Identified

Tucson Sentinel, reporter Paul Ingram, reports:

"Three Border Patrol agents involved in the fatal shooting of a Tohono O'odham man in front of his home in 2023 were identified in legal filings on Friday.

"Earlier this year, the family of 58-year-old Raymond Mattia filed a lawsuit, accusing Border Patrol of excessive force and demanding the names of the agents who killed him.

"Attorneys Ryan Stitt and Marcus Bourassa filed an amended complaint, and on Friday issued a summons for Border Patrol Agents Scott Whitehouse, Dan Sifuentes, and Ivan Torralva, who they said "shot and killed Raymond for no reason."

"Despite the lack of a threat and his compliance, at least three of the agents met his compliant calm demeanor with a hail of gunfire," the attorneys wrote. Whitehouse, Sifuentes, and Torralva "all fired their weapons at Mr. Mattia."
