Eagle Pass

The Eagle Pass Police Department informed The News Gram that it is possible that they may have positively identified the young man who was fatally injured in an accident which occurred at a local truck stop on Tuesday.  This information was passed on to the Mexican Consulate who was also diligently working to assist in identifying the body. Chief Antonio Castañeda stated in a phone conversation with an acquaintance of the victim who attempted to contact him on the cellular phone he had in his possession that the young man may have gone by the name of Luis Sanchez and he may have been from Tamaulipas, Mexico. Chief Castañeda reiterated that this has not been officially confirmed, it is simply a suspicion, a speculation based on the minimal data obtained at this time from the person who called the cellular phone. It is suspected that the three men who boarded the truck, did so in Laredo as the truck driver stated he had come from there and was preparing to continue his way to his ultimate destination which is undetermined at this time.  The three men had reached Eagle Pass hidden somewhere within the roof of the vehicle. When they arrived in Eagle Pass at the parking lot of the truck stop, one of the men fell and was crushed by the rear wheels of the tractor trailer. The other man, according to a witness could not be detained.  The victim had no documents but did have $900.00 in his possession along with the cellular phone. Police officials have tried returning the call to no avail. The case remains under investigation.
