(CNN) -- A U.S. Border Patrol agent based in El Paso, Texas, shot across the border and killed a 14-year-old boy in Mexico on Monday evening, a Mexican official in Ciudad Juarez said Tuesday.
FBI special agent Andrea Simmons confirmed Tuesday that a Border Patrol agent shot and hit someone on the Mexican side of the border Monday evening but said she did not know whether that person survived. Lou Patch, a supervisory Border Patrol agent in El Paso, also confirmed the shooting.
Ciudad Juarez spokesman Sergio Belmonte identified the dead teenager as secondary student Sergio Adrian Hernandez.
The incident occurred around 6:45 p.m. after an assault on a Border Patrol agent, Simmons said.
