Brighton Park shooting: Marimar Martinez, shot by Border Patrol agent, Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz charged in 39th and Kedzie incident
A woman who was shot by federal agents on Chicago's Southwest Side on Saturday morning is among two people facing charges in the alleged vehicle-ramming incident that happened moments before shots were fired, according to a criminal complaint.
Marimar Martinez, 30, and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21, allegedly used their vehicles to strike another car, with three U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents inside, near West 39th Street and South Kedzie Avenue in Brighton Park.
The complaint says Martinez and Ruiz then used their vehicles to box in the agents' car. Unable to move his vehicle, the CPB agent who was driving got out of the car and fired about five shots at Martinez.
Martinez drove off, but paramedics found her at a repair shop about 1 mile away from the scene. An ambulance took her to a hospital, where her gunshot wounds were treated.
Ruiz also drove away, but law enforcement officers located him and his vehicle at a gas station about a half-block away, the complaint says.
Martinez and Ruiz, both of Chicago, are in custody, charged with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with a federal law enforcement officer.
