Authored by nbcnews.com

CHICAGO — The text messages a Border Patrol agent sent to colleagues and family members after he repeatedly shot a Chicago woman in October can be released to the public, a federal judge ruled Friday.

The agent, Charles Exum, shot Marimar Martinez five times on Oct. 4, after she allegedly rammed her car into agents’ vehicles.

In one text message previously released, he bragged about his shooting skills, writing: “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes.

Government lawyers argued that the release of Exum’s text messages would further sully the agent and his family.

“I don’t know why the United States government has expressed zero concern for the sullying of Ms. Martinez’s reputation,” Alexakis said.

Marimar Martinez was released from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago in October.

The judge said the court wasn’t expected to handle negotiations such as that. »
