Newly released video shows a Border Patrol agent shooting a Taser into a car moments before flames erupt from inside, killing the driver as agents looked on.
The family of the victim, Alex Martin, is suing the federal government. The family’s attorney Gene Iredale said Martin had been driving for 22 hours on his way back from Texas when he got lost in Pine Valley, California, in March 2012. According to court documents, Border Patrol agents tried to pull him over for driving the wrong way on Interstate 8. But Iredale told NBC 7 Tuesday that the pursuing agents were all in plain clothes and unmarked cars, so Martin did not stop. For about three minutes, Martin led the agents on a high-speed pursuit that ended when he drove over spike strips that deflated his tires.
“These agents approached in unmarked cars, in plain clothes and never identified themselves by the display of badges or even the simple statement ‘Border Patrol,’” the attorney said.
In the video, a plainclothes agent is seen using a flashlight to break the passenger side window. He then raises up his Taser and shoots inside. Immediately, an explosion rocks the car, throwing the agent against the hillside behind him.
Iredale believes a container of gas had spilled in the car, so the stun gun ignited the flammable liquid. He alleges the agent should have smelled the gas fumes wafting out of the car and known not to shoot his Taser.
Martin burned to death. The video shows that instead of trying to save him, all of the agents pulled their vehicles away from the scene.
“All three of those cars had large fire extinguishers in them and standard equipment,” Iredale said. “Not one of these agents ever even tried to spray any of the fire extinguisher solution on that car.” [video]
