SAN DIEGO — The San Diego County medical examiner’s office has ruled the death of a Mexican migrant a homicide, five days after a U.S. immigration officer shot him with a stun gun.
The coroner said Wednesday that methamphetamine abuse and hypertension contributed to the death of Anastacio Hernandez, 32. He had wrestled two Border Patrol agents to the ground at a San Diego crossing. He died of cardiac arrest.
Police said the investigation will be sent to federal prosecutors, who will determine if criminal charges are filed.
