Rogelio Manuel Roy Ornelas, a 22-year-old Hispanic man from Texas City, Texas, was found dead in Lake Jackson, Brazoria County, on March 26, 2017 — his birthday — after he had been reported missing. Authorities determined that no criminal acts connected to his disappearance took place in La Marque; the investigation focused on Brazoria County and Lake Jackson where his body was recovered.

Two men, Joseph John Farek and Allen Ray Taylor II, both 21 at the time, were arrested in connection with Ornelas’ death and charged with murder; Farek’s bond was set at $1 million while bond information for Taylor was not immediately released. Multiple agencies, including the Lake Jackson Police Department and the Texas Rangers, were involved as the family pushed for answers. Ornelas’ mother, Rachel Ornelas, has been publicly vocal about seeking justice and has endured the additional loss of another son in police custody.

Does anyone have information about Rogelio Ornelas, his last known movements, or contacts in Brazoria County in March 2017?
