Eagle Pass detectives are investigating a murder of an Eagle Pass man, Jesus Manuel Sanchez, 31, who died of gunshot wounds to the chest early Friday morning.
Chief of Police Juan Antonio Castañeda informed The News Gram that officers responded to a call to a residence Ralph Drive where a subject was reported to have sustained a gunshot wound.
According to the report officers entered the residence and found a wounded person who was still alive, but soon thereafter passed away.
According to sources the shooting appears to have been self inflicted as he was shot with a deer rifle known as a 30 Out Six which caused an entry and an exit wound as the body was found in a large pool of blood.
What is known is that the subject was at is home and had just experienced an argument with his spouse.
What occurred after this is not known at this time.
The residence was marked off with yellow crime scene tape and the case remains under investigation.
Approximately 100 interested Eagle Passans attended a meet and greet for State Representative Pete Gallego at the La Mansion event center on Thursday.
Eagle Pass Public Works Director Hector Chavez greeted the gathering and introduced the candidate for US Congress indicating that he had organized this meeting in order to gain insight on his campaign platform as well as to provide answers to questions posed by local individuals who are interested in seeing someone who has worked diligently to see that the voice of Maverick County is heard at the national level.
Gallego thanked Chavez for giving him the opportunity to speak before the gathering of a community he holds near and dear to his heart as he reminded all who were there that during his very first campaign, he was losing after poll results had come in from six of the seven counties in his district, three of which he had won and three of which he had not with only Maverick County to go.
As the results came back from Maverick County, he said, “I woke up and was a member of the Texas Legislature,” after winning here 3 to 1.
The first question he was asked dealt with the issue of health care as the question was fielded in reference to Obamacare, and Gallego was quick to point out that if elected, Francisco “Kiko” Canseco will vote to repeal the health care legislation which is geared to provide health care for all.
Frank and Adele Junfin and their family have been an establishment in Eagle Pass and Maverick County for many many years, always looking for ways to help fellow Eagle Passans in various ways.
Their visionary business, Kunafin, the insectary which has made an impact worldwide by declaring war on all types of flies and unwanted pests that threaten cattle ranchers, the poultry industry, horse stables, dairy farms, feedlots and even tree farmers, is now the site where a large field of onions is going to waste and the Junfins would like the general public to know that they may call and come by to take as much of the crop as they wish.
"The Junfins are very hard-working individuals and their family has been, for a very long time," stated Susie Mason of Kunafin, "They do not want to see this crop go to waste as it is not going to be shipped out to northern states. So they are asking Eagle Passans to call us at (210)262-6242 to let us know you're coming and you can take as much onions as you wish, to sell or give away to family or friends."
The generosity of the Junfin family is and has aways been greatly appreciated and this is no exception as they donated over 2000 sacks to the local food bank this week.
Kunafin specializes in the breeding of trichogramma, lacewings and fly parasites among other biologicals and residuals which help ranchers produce better quality beef, dairy farmers to produce fresher milk products and poultry farmers to have cleaner facilities free of germ-spreading flies of all kinds.
