" Get a grip. I'm sure the Border Patrol said "oh looky there. A mexican. Let's shoot him for no reason."

You must either be truely nieve to believe that is what happened.

How are you aware of what took place? Were you there? Have you ever been on the receiving end of a bullet or a rock? Drug smuggling is very dangerous. It happens on both sides of the border and it is sad. More people have died in the drug cartel wars than on the highway in the United States for a 2 year period.

It is truely tragic that he died, but with the violence that is taking place in the drug market today, Smuggling is now considered a "dangerous job." Like our soldiers, people in the trade should know the risks involved in the business. You can get arrested, hurt, shot and dead. "

" thats not true that carlos had weed in his truck thats just b.s to cover upp the stupid BP officer's mistake I just cant beleive how poeple here in d-town are so ignorant, and to think i was proud of this town, but with this tragedy it makes it real clear that what happened was an act of racism from part of he border patrol officer that shot my friend carlos, they could have saved him but the border patrol thought he was an illegal and left him there dying on the floor, this was cruel and there needs to be consequences I just hope they make justice and make that officer pay for what he did "

" It should also be mentioned that he was released from jail that morning - due to previous drug charges....only to fill his chevy avalanche up with more dope that same day! Why hasn't it also been in the stories that he hit the agents vehicle with his car even before the rocks were thrown. COME ON PEOPLE!!!! This is ridiculous! These Agents put their lives on the line everyday, and scumbag drug dealers threaten them, get shot, and the Agent is the bad guy for defending himself? Seriously, I am sorry that all of this happened but thats what can be expected when you flee from police, hit an agents car and your carrying dope....DUH! He also had a criminal history, he knew exactly what he was doing and what the consequences were! "

" no matter wat they had carlos did not deserve to die they did act like pros why shooting the back when they could have gotten him by just shooting his leg the border patrol should be suited "

Que pues mi gente....no tapen el sol con un dedo! "

" Not even if the young man was carring drugs, did this official have a reason to shoot. I think he should be charged just like any other person that shoots at any individual!! "

" If he had just stayed straight this would have never happened. He choose to be a drug smuggler and in that life this is one of two things that end up happening. The family will sue the govt. again. But they should already have plenty of money from illegal drug smuggling. "

" If you enjoy smoking marijuana, buying meth, cocaine and trafficing in human beings for profit blame yourselves the American Consumer for the 35k deaths in Mexico and in America. The victims are obvious with bad choices with no morals to do right( FREE CHOICE ). Money is a god and the deaths prove what tradgedies in can cause. Human lives mean nothing to the CARTELS and to the DEPENDENT drug user who could care less as long as he or she gets their FIX... "
