US EditionFederal prosecutors dismiss charges against woman shot by Border Patrol agent in Chicago
Charges against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ruiz were dismissed after contested evidence and a shooting incident involving Border Patrol agents in Chicago, prosecutors said.
- On Thursday, federal prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss the indictment against Marimar Martinez, defendant, and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, co-defendant, linked to a Brighton Park assault case.
- On Oct. 4, DOJ accounts say Martinez, 30, and Ruiz, 21, boxed in and collided with a Border Patrol Tahoe near Pershing Road and Kedzie Avenue; agents fired five shots striking Martinez, who fled and was arrested about a mile away.
- After the seizure, the FBI processed and released the Chevrolet Tahoe, but Exum reported it moved in the garage with buffed scuff marks and drove it more than 1,000 miles between Oct. 8 and 10.
- Judge Georgia Alexakis ordered the government to deliver additional text messages after a Nov. 5 hearing, and she reviewed unredacted copies Monday, while the motion offered no explanation.
- Solicitor General John Sauer has pointed to the incident in national legal arguments, as the case from Operation Midway Blitz left Marimar Martinez with seven gunshot wounds and hospital treatment and release.
