Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP82741)
Josue Guerra Ramirez, a 22-year-old male, was last seen on July 15, 2021, in Brooks County, Texas, an area that has become known for the dangers migrants face when attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Brooks County, located in South Texas, is notorious for the high number of disappearances and deaths due to the harsh, desolate terrain that many migrants must traverse to avoid U.S. Border Patrol checkpoints.

Josue's disappearance is part of a broader issue in the region, where thousands of individuals have gone missing over the past decade. Many families, like Josue's, continue to search for their loved ones, often relying on limited resources and humanitarian aid organizations like the South Texas Human Rights Center. This center, led by Eddie Canales, helps families track down missing persons in the area and provides life-saving resources such as water stations along common migrant routes.

The case remains open, and authorities urge anyone with information to come forward to assist in the search efforts. Given the remote and dangerous conditions of Brooks County, finding missing individuals like Josue is a challenging and urgent mission.
