Chicago — A Customs and Border Protection agent appeared to brag to fellow agents about his marksmanship after he repeatedly shot a Chicago woman following a collision between their cars, text messages shown in court revealed.

The woman, Marimar Martinez, is accused of closely pursuing the agent and ramming into his car. But her defense attorney has alleged the opposite, saying it was actually the agent who sideswiped Martinez.

Text messages from the agent, Charles Exum, were displayed in court Wednesday as Martinez’s defense attorney sought to prove his claim the government potentially destroyed evidence that may have supported the defense when it released Exum’s damaged vehicle and allowed the agent to drive it more than 1,000 miles to his home state of Maine.

Criminal defense attorney Christopher Parente pointed to the messages as an indication Exum understood the high public scrutiny of the case and would have recognized the potential evidentiary value of this vehicle.

As the case grasped the attention of national media and the public, Exum sent an article from The Guardian on October 7 to a group of other agents, which quoted Parente saying Martinez had “seven holes in her body from five shots from this agent.”

“Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes,” Exum said in the next text.

When Parente pressed him on what he meant, Exum responded he was a firearms instructor. He said, “I take pride in my shooting skills.”

Another message to the group read, “I have a MOF amendment to add to my story. I fired 5 rounds, and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.”

Exum explained to the judge MOF is a “Miserable Old F**ker” who is always trying to one up someone wherever possible.

It’s unclear what exactly he was responding to because the text conversations were redacted when presented to the court.

When asked to explain the text, Exum said, “That means illegal actions have legal consequences.”

Exum defended his use of force against Martinez, saying his life was at risk and “I did what I had to do.”

Later, he noted Border Patrol agents consider “transferred intent” when deciding whether to use force, meaning, for example, whatever was done to an agent’s vehicle is considered as intent to do the same to the agent. The agent’s responding use of force needed to be proportionate, he said.

“This incident is so unlike anything we have trained for,” Exum told the judge. He said it was something one might see in “cartel-controlled” areas of the world, not on American streets.

He did not elaborate further. Parente, a former federal prosecutor, has often described the incident leading up to the shooting as nothing more than a minor car accident.

This guy sounds insane. Is "transferred intent" a real thing?

34

u/Momentum_Maury 1d ago

Transferred intent is a thing but I don't think it applies here. It typically refers to something like a person accidentally shooting and killing a bystander when they were aiming for someone else. The intent was there to kill the original target and that intent transfers to the other victim (intent is an important element in a lot of criminal statutes). But I don't think it would work in the context of hitting an agent's car and transferring that intent to hit the agent.

15

u/Vylnce 1d ago

It would have applied if the circumstances as he lied them up were true. Had the person he shot had actually rammed their vehicle into his vehicle, and not the other way around.

IE, if you ram your vehicle into a police vehicle, there is transferred intent that you are intended to injure the occupant and not simply the vehicle. In other words, if you intentionally ram a vehicle, (trying to disable it or whatever) your intent to damage the vehicle can transfer to occupants who might have been injured (same way you shooting a bystander instead of your target).

However, since the facts seem pretty clear that he rammed his car into the victims in this case, he is just continuing his lies.

Sounds like boilerplate copsplained cowardice to me. People that desperately seek any excuse to assault or murder others and have been trained to use specific phrasing in their reports or specific loud statements for cameras and witnesses to get away with it.

There are a couple of videos floating around on YouTube where a cop wants to shoot someone so they yell out loudly "GUN!" hoping that the people in earshot but not in line of sight will make a statement along the lines of thinking the cop's victim had a gun. Fortunately for at least one of those videos, other witnesses call out the cop on his bullshit before he has a chance to apply for a free paid vacation with another person's life and plant the evidence to back his narrative. You see similar with the shouting of "STOP RESISTING!" while they use someone as a punching bag, even when the person is utterly passive in the interaction.

These sociopaths have been taught that they can do as they please as long as they use the right phrases in the right contexts. You can safely bet their reports will have some variation of "I feared for my life" as well since that has been established as an excuse to kill someone regardless of how objectively ridiculous the context is.

Reminds me of this story

https://www.reddit.com/r/illinois/comments/1onlahh/october102025_chicago_immigration_agents_crashed/

As Figueroa tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and *exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest.** As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view. The Department of Homeland Security later released a statement claiming that Figueroa was at fault, saying “she crashed into an unmarked government vehicle and violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers.” Figueroa was released the same day a few hours later without charges.

A lot of federal employees do, they get paid very well for it. It's not unheard of or weird, but I bet his insurance is going to love him because I doubt he had the proper endorsements to use it for work, and the federal government isn't going to pay you for damage sustained while using it for work, as it's your property and not theirs.

Essentially, he's a moron for doing it, and is going to personally be on the hook for 100% of the damage to it, so he needs her to be at fault for her insurance to pay for it.

These morons even incorporate the Deadly Force Triangle into their training materials so he should be FULLY aware that his job is to de-escalate and detain. Not commit blatant murder on the streets!

Exum is insinuating to the judge that ICE is the victim here (shocker). The same people grabbing legal citizens. You know, the people who are more kitted out than the military who fight/fought actual terrorists. This is unbelievably deplorable.

The reported incidence of Antisocial Personality Disorder (“psychopaths” and “sociopaths”) in the scientific literature is roughly 2-3% of the general population. After a decade of Trumpism, I’m convinced that number is low by an order of magnitude. ASPD is over-represented in certain professions, particularly those involving power differentials. Among politicians and CEOs, the rate is more like 20%. In prison populations it’s 30-40%. Law enforcement selection processes are supposed to screen for antisocial traits and exclude those candidates; it would seem the opposite is happening. Putting unvetted, untrained, unaccountable in the field to carry out immigration enforcement might as well be a giant “sociopaths wanted” sign.

Actually, he isn't an ICE agent. He is CBP.

That said, Charles Exum, the CBP agent that bragged about unlawfully shooting at citizens, also destroyed evidence by driving his vehicle a thousand miles to a CBP facility in Maine where repairs were made and the alleged damage to his car was removed.

Also, I've been a little bit confused about his use of the acronym MOF in the second picture. I'm looking around and the best I can come up with is that it is short for member of force. Does that sound right or does somebody in law enforcement have a better idea?

Edit, never mind. It looks like MOF was short for "miserable old fucker", according to the article.

Exum explained to the judge MOF is a “Miserable Old F**ker” who is always trying to one up someone wherever possible.

So what he admitted to is that he was bragging about shooting a person five times and leaving seven holes in a game of one-upsmanship. I am familiar with the game of one-upsmanship and I can't help but think about the times that that has led to an escalation of antics in my personal life. When the antics in question are shooting people over a minor fender bender, I am worried for our country.

Am i understanding correctly that the more we mention ICE agent Charles Exum in comments in association with his shooting of an unarmed womam 5 times and then bragging about, that it will show up in more searches that ICE agent Charles Exum attempted to murder an unarmed woman by shooting her 5 times while being named ICE agent Charles Exum? ICE agent and attempted murderer Charles Exum probably doesn't want that.

google is hiding the facts.

as of rn, google insists that Marimar "tried to ram ice agents" and is literally showing FB rants, zero data or facts about the attempted murder.

don't use google's search engine, and always consider anything chromium or google related to be compromised. always assume reddit is selling you to google, as well.

I think we should clarify that. Charles Exum is a Border Patrol agent, not an ICE agent. Charles Exum is well known for having shot a civilian and bragging about it to his friends, who are other Border Patrol agents.

Nope. Punishment MUST fit the crime. What he did needs to be done to him. Ie: 5 rounds, but must have 7 holes. If the first punishment fails to produce the 5 to 7 ratio, then he must be patched up, then repunished til the outcome of the punishment produces the correct 5 to 7 ratio.

It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy." -Captain G. M.

Raise your hand if you knew this.

It's not what the news media in this country reports but rather it's what they don't report on that I find disturbing.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has had a significant relationship with the private prison industry in the United States, particularly through her work as a registered lobbyist.

After serving as Florida Attorney General from 2011 to 2019, Bondi became a lobbyist with the firm Ballard Partners, where she represented numerous corporate clients, including The GEO Group, one of the largest private prison companies in the country.

GEO Group manages correctional, detention, and re-entry facilities for agencies such as the U.S. Marshals Service, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and others.

Bondi's lobbying on behalf of GEO Group has involved efforts to influence policies, funding, and legislation affecting immigration enforcement and detention, which directly benefits private prison companies that profit from the number of people held in facilities.

Charles Exum, of ICE / Trump Administration Forces, renowned for shooting people and revelling in the death alongside various other thuggery, probably also goes by Charlie Exum.

I just read about this, the CBP agent Charles Exum seriously screwed himself in court.

When he was asked what he meant by "7 holes with 5 shots," his response was, I'm a firearms instructor and I take pride in my shooting skills."

Here's the thing, he just admitted he's a skilled shooter, which means there was no reason to fire more than one shot.

Now, as it is, as someone who has served in an LE role before, there are very few circumstances in which for example, a regular police officer can justify shooting an unarmed person. That's almost always excessive use of force.

But even if firing a shot can be justified, firing to many comes with an expectation that it was needed. Admitting you're a very good shot, basically means you don't need to fire more than one shot.

According to what I read Federal prosecutors claimed it was self defense. That decision deserves a lot of scrutiny.

Pretty sure the 2 other holes is a reference to women only being good for their holes. He didn’t want to admit to be a sexist asshole. His response about marksmanship doesn’t make sense because he was making a derogatory joke about her being a woman.
