Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP51100) and 1 other source
Juan Gilberto Vasquez Mazariegos, a 23-year-old man originally from Guatemala, was last seen on September 15, 2017, in McAllen, Texas. At the time, he was attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. Little is known about the circumstances of his disappearance, and no additional information or leads have emerged since. Vasquez Mazariegos, described as 5'2" tall and weighing 110 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, has not been heard from since that day.

His case is considered a migrant disappearance, a classification used when individuals go missing during attempts to cross the border. Although his case has been entered into various missing persons databases, few details have surfaced, leaving the circumstances of his disappearance largely unknown. Authorities continue to seek any information that may help bring clarity to his case.
