Nicholas J. Ivie

Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Ivie was accidentally shot and killed in a case of mistaken identity when he and another pair of agents checked on a ground sensor that had been set off near Bisbee, Arizona, at approximately 1:30 am.

The agents encountered each other in an area of extremely rocky terrain. Because of the darkness and obstructions, they were unable to identify each other as agents. They exchanged gunfire during the encounter and Agent Ivie was killed while one of the other agents was wounded.

Agent Ivie had served with the U.S. Border Patrol for four years and was assigned to the Brian A. Terry Border Patrol Station. He is survived by his wife and children, and his parents.

I never knew you, but have had the pleasure of serving under your brother. If his work ethic, professionalism and kind demeanor are any kind of baseline for your family’s virtue, then the world is at a substantial loss without you. May God bless your family, and those in their lives. RIP.
