A Border Patrol agent charged with manslaughter in the 2012 shooting of a Mexican teenager—16-year-old Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez—has been acquitted by a jury in Arizona.
Jurors in Tucson found Agent Lonnie Swartz not guilty of involuntary manslaughter but didn't come to a decision on voluntary manslaughter, according to the Houston Chronicle . The verdict comes months after Swartz was acquitted of second-degree murder by another jury that had deadlocked on manslaughter charges, allowing prosecutors to pursue the case again.
