Mexico fumes after 2nd immigrant dies in police shooting: ‘We don’t want this to be a trend’

Mexico is condemning the death of a Mexican immigrant in Texas who was killed this week during a confrontation with police.

The death – which comes less than two weeks after the police-involved shooting of a Mexican immigrant in Washington state – has heightened diplomatic tensions between the two countries.

The most recent death occurred February 20 outside Dallas. Grapevine Police were searching for a robbery suspect and encountered Rubén García Villalpando, 31, in his pickup truck while he was in the parking lot of a shopping center.

Police repeatedly ordered him to stop, but he continued advancing toward them – so they opened fire, police said.
