Geocache Description:
Rosa Mem




Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas was shot and killed while on patrol near Campo, California, at approximately 9:15 pm. He was shot multiple times after exiting his patrol vehicle on the Shockey Truck Trail along the border.

Agent Rosas was following a group of suspicious individuals and had radioed for backup from other agents. The group split up before the backup agents arrived at the location and Agent Rosas began to follow one of the smaller groups. The responding agents located him suffering from several gunshot wounds. It is believed that the suspects entered the United States illegally for the purpose of robbing a Border Patrol agent of government property.

Three suspects were arrested in San Jose, California the following day. Four additional suspects were arrested in Mexico two days after the shooting. The 17-year-old suspect believed to have shot Agent Rosas was apprehended and sentenced to 40 years in prison. As of April 2011 one suspect remains at large.

Agent Rosas had served with the Border Patrol for three years. He is survived by his wife, 2-year-old son, and 11-month-old daughter.
