Immigration Crackdown: Mexican teen dies after Arizona border incident

More on the teenager's death at the border. Reports on the cause of death are now disputed.

Mexican teen dies after Arizona border incident: "A Mexican teenager who threw rocks at Border Patrol agents in the Arizona city of Nogales died early Wednesday, but the manner of death is now in dispute.

A Mexican official said 17-year-old Ramses Barron Torres died after he fell from a border fence and hit his head on a rock.

But state police in Sonora, across the border from Arizona, said companions of the Barron Torres claim he was shot by a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

Calls to Border Patrol officials weren't immediately returned Wednesday night. An FBI spokesman declined to release details of the investigation." Jan. 5, 2011, AP/Washington Post
