Source: Newsweek
Newsweek has obtained police body-worn camera footage, photos, and new statements that shed new light on the moments a U.S. citizen was fatally shot by a federal immigration agent in Texas almost one year ago.
Over 160 pieces of evidence tied to Ruben Ray Martinez’s death by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent were released by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), following Newsweek’s public records request for further documents on the 23-year-old’s death in South Padre Island on March 15, 2025.
More bodycam footage from the South Padre Island Police Department (SPIPD) also captures the moments officers and agents tried to stop the vehicle the two men were in. An officer can be heard shouting, “Stop him. Stop him, stop him, stop him. Get him out. Get him out. Get him out!
“Stop the f***ing vehicle,” one officer can be heard saying. Seconds later gun shots ring out.

It's never good for law enforcement when it takes a year to see bodycam footage.
