Former warden and brother accused of killing migrants near US-Mexico border

Michael Sheppard has since been fired from his job at Texas jail and faces, along with his brother, a charge of manslaughter

After stopping for water near the US-Mexico border, one migrant was shot dead and another was wounded when they were fired on by the warden of an allegedly abusive Texas jail and his brother last week.

Michael Sheppard - the warden of West Texas Detention Facility, a privately-owned jail which once housed migrants detained by the federal government - and Mark Sheppard each face a charge of manslaughter after the 27 September shooting in rural Hudspeth county, roughy 90 miles (145km) from El Paso.
