8 Years Later, Man Convicted Of Killing US Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry

DC: A federal jury convicted Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes Tuesday of killing Border Patrol agent Brian Terry eight years after his death.

Osorio-Arellanes was found guilty and convicted of first-degree murder, second degree murder, attempted robbery, assaulting four Border Patrol agents, carrying a firearm and conspiring to disrupt interstate commerce, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice.

Terry, 40, was killed on Dec. 14, 2010.

Terry died in a firefight after Osorio-Arellanes and a group of armed men attempted to rob smugglers who were transporting drugs from Mexico to the U.S. He was part of an elite Border Patrol unit and was participating in operation “Fast and Furious,” which permitted federal agents to allow known criminals to buy weapons in order to track the purchases to other criminal organizations, according to The AP.

Terry and his unit sought to arrest the group of men, including Osorio-Arellanes, in Nogales, Arizona when the firefight that took Terry’s life erupted.

Osorio-Arellanes fled the scene following the attack.

He is the sixth of seven men convicted in Terry’s murder, according to the press release.  MORE

  1. “operation “Fast and Furious,” which permitted federal agents to allow known criminals to buy weapons in order to track the purchases to other criminal organizations, according to The AP.” So AP is sticking with that story. I suppose “at this point, what difference does it make”

  2. “operation “Fast and Furious,” which permitted federal agents to allow known criminals to buy weapons in order to track the purchases to other criminal organizations…”
