An FBI special agent who shot and wounded a fellow passenger aboard a Washington, DC-area Metro train in December 2020 was found not guilty of attempted murder and other related charges by a Maryland jury on Friday, according to the state’s attorney for Montgomery County. “This was a case that should never have been prosecuted,” Robert Bonsib, an attorney for FBI supervisory special agent Eduardo Valdivia, told CNN on Sunday. “The jury saw it as we have said it from the beginning.
Investigators with the Metro Transit Police said that video footage of the incident showed an adult male approaching Valdivia as the Metrorail car neared Medical Center Station in Bethesda, Maryland. Words were exchanged, when Valdivia discharged his weapon several times, the Metro Transit Police said. The other passenger asked Valdivia for money and when Valdivia said that he didn’t have any, the man walked away spewing expletives, prosecutors said in court.
