Sergio Ortiz Perez was 20 and a Guatemalan national when he was last seen on December 1, 2017, near McAllen, Texas. He was part of a group of migrants attempting to enter the United States, possibly crossing the Rio Grande through Hidalgo County, and has not been heard from since that day.

At the time he disappeared he was described as 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 3 inches tall, about 130 to 140 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a noticeable scar near his ear. Few details are available about what happened during the crossing, and it is feared he may have encountered trouble while attempting to enter the U.S. The Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office is investigating but public updates have been sparse.

If anyone knew Sergio, saw him around McAllen on or after December 1, 2017, or has information about the crossing he was part of, please come forward and share what you know.
