A Chicago woman shot multiple times by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents was recently indicted by a grand jury on federal charges of impeding a federal officer with a deadly weapon.
Prosecutors allege Marimar Martinez, 30, rammed the vehicle of federal agents with her own before they shot her, which they say was an act of self-defense. They also claim Martinez was armed.
Martinez’s lawyer, Christopher Parente, said footage from one of the agent’s body-worn cameras contradicted that account, and Martinez will plead not guilty at an arraignment scheduled in the coming days.
