Selvin De Leon Barrios, a 25-year-old Guatemalan man, went missing on May 18, 2018, in Falfurrias, Texas. He was part of a group of migrants likely attempting to bypass U.S. Border Patrol controls in rural Brooks County. Reports from his traveling companions suggest that Selvin had an accident, suffering a head injury. Following this incident, he was separated from the group, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

The area where Selvin went missing is notorious for its challenging terrain, often resulting in migrants becoming disoriented or injured. His family and authorities have worked diligently to locate him, but as of now, no definitive leads have surfaced regarding his location or well-being. His case remains open, with the Texas Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement encouraging anyone with information to come forward. His disappearance is cataloged under NamUs, a national missing persons database, where further details on his case are available.
