    38 times, not 3. Also, there was no “machete”, it was a cellphone. And even after all that, one of them was still yelling at him to put his hands up or he’d shoot again, while the guy was facedown and dead on his own front lawn…

    “After the shooting, a Border Patrol agent could be heard threatening to shoot Mattia again if he didn’t put his hands out as the agent approached him lying motionless face down on the ground.

    “Put your hands out, bro. You’re gonna get shot again,” an agent yelled at Mattia in the video as he was approaching him. Mattia’s cell phone and case could be seen lying next to him in the video.”

      What you see in the video being thrown at the very beginning definitely looks more like a sheathed machete than a phone. The phone is what he had in his hands after throwing the machete.
