Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP52193) and 1 other source
Gustavo Chavarria Lemus, a 21-year-old male, was last seen on June 25, 2017, near Laredo, Texas. He had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border but, during the journey, he became unable to continue walking. Those traveling with him reportedly left him near a road or highway, providing him with a gallon of water and a cell phone. Despite these provisions, Gustavo never made contact again, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

His disappearance has been classified as a missing person case by authorities, with efforts to locate him ongoing. His information is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), and his family, along with law enforcement, continues to seek any information that may lead to his recovery. This case is particularly troubling due to the challenging circumstances under which he was last seen.
