Mexico has demanded a full inquiry following the death of a teenager after a US border patrol agent opened fire from the US side of the border.
The youth, believed to be about 14 was found on the Mexican side under a bridge linking Ciudad Juarez with El Paso.
US authorities say the agent was defending himself and colleagues after they came under attack from people throwing stones and rocks.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon condemned the shooting and called for the incident to be thoroughly investigated and those responsible punished.
