Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP53538) and 1 other source
Hector Ic-Ical, a 28-year-old male, was last seen on May 29, 2018, in Brownsville, Texas. Authorities believe Hector may have crossed the Rio Grande River from Matamoros, Mexico, into the United States at an unknown location near Brownsville in Cameron County. He has not been heard from since that date, and his disappearance remains a mystery. Hector is described as Hispanic, standing 5'1", and weighing approximately 155 pounds, with black hair.

Given the proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border, there is speculation that his crossing into the U.S. may have played a role in his disappearance, though the exact circumstances remain unclear. Law enforcement continues to search for answers, and the Texas Department of Public Safety has listed Hector's case in their missing persons database, seeking any tips or information that might lead to his whereabouts.
