California MOTHER OF 5 Shot and Killed by Border Control Agent

A 32-year-old woman was shot and killed by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent in Chula Vista, California after the agent claimed the woman tried to run him over in her vehicle, but witnesses are telling a totally different story.

Valeria “Monique” Alvarado was shot by the agent at least 6 times – at close range – through the windshield of her car – in broad daylight. The agent was in plain clothes and was not displaying a badge.

The grieving husband said the agent overreacted, “My wife got killed for no reason,” he said, “show me that my wife had a gun or something that threatened the guy’s life where he had to use lethal force against her.”

Authorities say the Border Patrol agent was serving a felony warrant when Alvarado intentionally tried to run him over. The woman was in no way related to the serving of the warrant.

Cops are saying the agent was carried several hundred yards on the hood of the woman’s car before he fired his weapon, at close range, 15 times, killing the wife and mother of 5.

“The suspect was armed with a vehicle, and literally ran our agent down,” cops said, “He was carried several hundred yards before he discharged his weapon through the windshield of the vehicle.”

The agent was hospitalized but authorities are refusing to describe his injuries.

Witnesses say the agent ordered the woman to stop as she attempted to slowly back out of her own driveway and when she did not immediately do so, he unloaded his weapon through her windshield.

“As the car was backing up the officer was in the street walking toward the car, and discharging,” recalled another witness.

More witnesses in the area at the time said Alvarado did not appear to do anything that would warrant getting shot and killed. The woman was not carrying a firearm.

“I think we’re all shocked and we want answers,” said the woman’s cousin. “They didn’t have to shoot her!”

This is the first story in a long time to bring me to tears… A family now devastated, 5 children forever without their mother.
