SAN DIEGO (AP) - A 17-year-old has pleaded guilty in the murder
of a Border Patrol agent shot eight times in head, neck and torso
in July.

The U.S. Attorney's office in San Diego said Christian Daniel
Castro Alvarez entered the plea Friday in federal court. It said
the teenager admitted entering the United States illegally from
Mexico to rob a Border Patrol agent of government property.

Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas was shot four times in the head
the night of July 23 near Campo, east of San Diego. He was also
shot once in the neck and three times in the torso.
