Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, Do something, b----, before pulling over and shooting the woman five times, the womans attorney said in federal court Monday.
The video appears to contradict the governments allegation that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire on her late Saturday morning on Kedzie Avenue near 39th Street, her attorney, Christopher Parente, said at a detention hearing at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse.

In the charges filed Sunday, prosecutors notably did not mention a loaded gun in Martinezs car that was referenced in a previous statement by the Department of Homeland Security. But in court Monday, Hennessy said Martinez had a loaded firearm on the passenger side of her car but never brandished it. Martinezs attorney, Parente, said she has a valid firearm and concealed-carry license.
