00:00On the evening of May 18th of 2023, in a small town in southern Arizona,

00:12an unusual police encounter would occur that turned the town upside down.

00:17Let's take a look back at the shocking story and find out what actually happened.

00:24While most of society is settling in for bed when the day turns to night,

00:28law enforcement is wide-awake patrolling areas and dealing with many distress calls

00:34coming in over the radio. On some occasions things can be quite slow, other nights not so much.

00:43On a native reservation near the Arizona southern border, the local tribal police department would

00:48request assistance from the U.S. Customs Border Patrol regarding a shots-fired call that would

00:54come in late in the day.

00:55United States Border Patrol, Tucson Sector, can I help you?

00:58Hi, this is from TLP.

01:00Yes, ma'am.

01:00I have officers to officers headings to the village of managers, and we've got a point

01:07of shots being heard. They don't, well, there's, I guess a threat made on a 101 from somebody

01:17she has a restraining order against. They just, they just know he lives on the west side of

01:22the RIC Center. So they're asking if you have anybody that can go with them to check in the

01:27area of the west side of the RIC Center. They can meet at the RIC Center.

01:31Meet up at the RIC Center, and this is in the village of managers?

01:33Yeah, in managers. Yeah.

01:37Okay.

01:38Okay, and you said the house in question, they have a restraining order against each

01:42other, or somebody has a, okay.

01:43I guess he went and reported that, uh, that the girl, he, the ex-girlfriend was shot, her

01:49and her mom were shot yesterday. So now the girlfriend is saying maybe it's prematurely

01:54that since she keeps hearing shots fired, everybody keeps calling in the village, checking

01:58on her. So that's why they want, and I guess he does live in that area on the west side

02:02of the RIC Center. So she said he does have on a rifle, and they had native contact with

02:07him yesterday, so they're going to try to check on him today, or right now, to see if that

02:12was him, she's not forgotten.

02:14Okay.

02:15Oh, okay. But yeah, they can meet at the RIC Center.

02:17Okay, but, so the actual report is shots being fired, correct?

02:20Yeah, everybody said they report, they heard two, but nobody can pinpoint where it came

02:25from. These are all coming from the west side.

02:27Okay. All right. Sounds good. Thank you.

02:28All right. Thank you.

02:29Bye-bye.

02:30Several Customs Border Patrol agents in the area would rendezvous with the local PD and discuss

02:35the situation and how they should proceed.

02:39What's up, man? Anybody here for some good more ?

02:46No. Are you?

02:49What's his name again?

03:03?

03:04I can ask him real quick.

03:05Oh, yeah. You definitely know who he is.

03:10He's got two different houses. One is going to be right up here. It's going to be a little

03:16guessing game trying to find it. I don't know exactly where the is at.

03:20He's got the same equipment. The west side is there.

03:27He's got a right to the side. Are you on contact with him?

03:35Are you on contact with him?

03:36Okay.

03:37Okay.

03:38So, okay, so.

03:52All right.

04:16Alright, I know this is one of them right here.

04:25Dude, he's got another house too. This one right here. So we are right here.

04:32And this is his house. Right. That house and that house.

04:37This is his house. That's his brother's house.

04:43But there is shots fired, they said? Yeah.

04:45Uh, recording hands-free.

04:47Hands-free? Yeah.

04:48Alright, y'all ready?

04:50Alright, uh...

04:54There's a bunch of y'all guys here now too.

05:01Are you guys good?

05:03Yeah.

05:04You can go if you're ready.

05:05Yeah, let's go.

05:06Yeah.

05:07After coming up with a plan, they all drove to the area to further investigate the initial

05:35report.

05:36On high alert, the officers began looking around in the darkness for the supposed armed and

05:42dangerous suspect.

05:43Yeah.

05:44You wanna watch that set?

05:45Yeah.

05:46You wanna watch that set?

05:47Yep.

05:48Nice.

05:49Now we're here to the channel.

05:51Hey, ya boy I have a watch come on the senteil, hotel.

06:09Screw the fucking lock off.

06:15Fuck ya.

06:16Okay, yo, see somebody just walk over here you see him

06:35Yo, okay over here. I don't know somebody over here

06:46What could you what's up for you I thought somebody just ran this way

07:16Pretty sure somebody ran this way

07:24After searching around the remote area for a brief period they would find their man and things would intensify

07:39Oh

08:09Put your hands up put it down put it down put it down

08:16Get on your f***ing face

08:19Hey put your hands out of your f***ing pocket

08:20The suspect later identified as 58-year-old Raymond Mattia

08:27Was shot nine times after throwing a sheathed machete toward an agent

08:32Then reaching in his pocket when told to put his hands in the air

08:35The medical specialist on the scene attempted to provide treatment to Mattia following the shots

08:41How you doing sir, this is it

08:42So we just had a shooting here

08:46In Managers, Arizona

08:48Subject's been hit four or five times

08:51We didn't count exactly

08:52We've been doing CPR since 2146

08:54No pulse, no breathing

08:56Do we need more bodies out here for product control?

09:04Probably wouldn't hurt

09:05The ambulance is still approximately 20 minutes, 30 minutes away

09:15And we're the nearest hospitals in an hour at least

09:17Call it, 10-0-6, 22-0-6, copy sir

09:26What was your name sir?

09:32Good copy, thank you sir

09:33Just continue guys

09:36Following the incident it was later revealed

09:43Mattia didn't have a firearm on him during the encounter

09:46And he possibly was reaching for a cell phone he had in his pocket

09:49The small town would come together and show support for Mattia

09:54Many suggesting the Customs Border Patrol agents were too quick to use lethal force

10:00But what are your thoughts on this story?

10:03Do you think the agents may have acted too quickly?

10:07Or was the night-time conditions, him reaching for something

10:10And them responding to a shots-fired call

10:13Make their decision somewhat understandable to fire in the moment?
