(CNN) -- Four suspects are in custody Wednesday and another one is being sought after a U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot and killed Tuesday on the Arizona-Mexico border, a statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection said. "Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry was shot and killed after he encountered several suspects near Rio Rico, Arizona," the statement said. "Agent Terry's murder is a tragic reminder of the ever-present dangers U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, Air & Marine and Border Patrol agents face as they protect our nation's borders."
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Terry family for their tragic loss," said CBP Commissioner Alan Bersin. "Our commitment to Agent Terry and his family is that we will do everything possible to bring to justice those responsible for this despicable act."
The FBI is leading the investigation into the agent's death, with the assistance of the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office.
