Agent Brian Terry encountered a group of suspects when he was shot at, a release from the Border Patrol detailed.
Four of those suspects were arrested. One is still at large, authorities said.
Border Patrol officials and officers with the Department of Public Safety are scouring the area with K9 units in an effort to find that suspect.
The incident happened just after 11 p.m. in the Peck Canyon area just north of Nogales.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations is now involved in the case and is looking into the agent's death, Border Patrol spokesman Eric Cantu said.
"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."
