By Nicquel Terry Ellis, CNN (CNN) — In a striking reversal by the US government, prosecutors filed a motion Thursday to dismiss federal charges against a woman shot by a Customs and Border Protection agent in Chicago after allegedly ramming into his car, court documents show.
Prosecutors had accused Marimar Martinez, 30, and Anthony Ruiz, 21, of using their vehicles to strike and box in Border Patrol agent Charles Exum’s vehicle on Oct. 4 on Chicago’s southwest side. Exum exited his car and opened fire at Martinez.
Prosecutors had accused Marimar Martinez and another defendant of ramming their cars into a federal vehicle in October. Her legal team argued it was federal agents who rammed her.
A federal judge has officially dismissed the case against a Chicago woman who was shot by a Border Patrol agent — and her co-defendant — with prejudice, meaning the charges cannot be refiled.
