Overview

• Marimar Martinez, 30, and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21, were charged with forcibly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with federal officers after a Saturday encounter near 39th Street and Kedzie Avenue.
• Prosecutors say the pair used their cars to strike a CBP vehicle carrying three agents, then boxed it in, prompting agents to exit before one agent fired five shots at Martinez.
• DHS says Martinez was armed with a semi-automatic weapon; she left the scene, was found by paramedics at a repair shop about a mile away, and was treated for gunshot wounds.
• Ruiz was located nearby at a gas station, and both defendants remain in custody pending initial court appearances in Chicago.
• The shooting prompted protests where agents deployed tear gas; CPB leaders criticized the lack of police assistance as CPD described only traffic control, and federal authorities are investigating the incident within the broader Operation Midway Blitz.
