The last time Antonio Mays Sr. heard from his son, it was in a note the 16-year-old left in the family's garage. He told me he was going to make me proud. Antonio Jr. left home to join a protest in Seattle. A week later, he was shot and killed there. I need some arrest made, justice for my son. Listen to We Keep Us Safe on the Embedded podcast from NPR.

Earlier this week, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a man in Maine.
It was the second deadly shooting by ICE officers this month. Both of them started as traffic stops. NPR's Sergio Martinez Beltran has been covering both incidents and joins us now from Texas. Thanks for being with us.
Glad to be with you, Scott.
There's still many questions about what led the immigration officers to take out their guns and kill these two men who were in their vehicles driving to work. But you bring us a new concern today.
Yes, the latest is that NPR has learned that the ICE officer who allegedly shot Joan Duran Guerrero in Maine had a long history of violent behavior and struggles with serious mental health problems. That officer's name is David Brouillette. NPR has reported he's an army veteran and former police officer. My colleague Vanessa Romo talked to Brouillette's ex-wife, Ashley Brouillette. She said for years she tried to warn the army and others that her former husband is troubled and abusive.
He hit me, choked me. And there was an incident where we had been fighting and I walked away and I got in the shower and he comes in with a gun and points it at me and tells me that he's going to blow my brains all over the bathtub.
There are no police reports from this incident, so NPR has not been able to independently corroborate Ashley Brouillette's accusations. We've reached out to David Brouillette, but he has not responded. DHS Scott, without naming the officer, said the agent involved had nearly a decade of law enforcement experience and had the required use of force training. There are also a lot of questions surrounding the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas. The father of three was also killed by federal immigration agents. Like the main shooting, Salgado Araujo was not the intended target of the ICE operation, and no publicly available video evidence so far shows that either driver was clearly using their car as a weapon or threat, as alleged by ICE.
And Sergio, none of the immigration officers were wearing a body camera. If they had been, there would be footage that people could watch that would shed light on the case, wouldn't there?
Right. Five months ago, the Department of Homeland Security vowed to quickly send body cameras to every agent across the country, and yet that hasn't happened.
