#1 Agent Martinez had ventured out alone to check on a ground sensor to determine who or what had set it off. He confirmed to his colleagues that human activity had activated the alarm before he died.

Technology to blame is it? Appears the Ground Surveillance Sensor did it's job. The real cock-up that's not covered by the Gov't or MSM; going out 'alone' to investigate a sensor activation.

#2 Ambushed (both of them), perhaps? Do they not have loaded weapons?

#3 ROE, Doo.
Dumb tremblers get set off by passing cattle, coyotes(4 leg), rocks set in motion by desert cooling, moonlight parties and rocking pickups or harmonics from nearby passing semis when the ground humidity conditions are right. In especially difficult terrain, incursion probability charts rank the causes above ahead of people.

Investigating Agent Martinez may have wandered off to answer Nature's call and stumbled into a passing group which then swarmed his 'unnamed partner'. Rocks are plentiful and the sound of a gunshot travels far. In the end apparently the transgressors went on their way.
