 A border clash turns deadly

    By Kate Linthicum Los Angeles Times (TNS) Nov 24, 2018 Updated 23 hrs ago



TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Henry Diaz Reyes and about 1,500 other Central American migrants had just pushed past Guatemalan authorities and onto a border bridge to Mexico.

Mexican federal police were waiting for them in riot gear. The official border entry was closed, police said.

The migrants shouted obscenities and hurled rocks at the police, who responded by launching tear gas.

As the Oct. 28 scuffle escalated, projectiles started whizzing through the air. One struck Diaz, who fell to the ground, bleeding from his head. Rescuers rushed him to a hospital, where the 26-year-old was declared dead.
