Cipriano Briones, a 34-year-old Hispanic man, was one of the victims in the Edinburg massacre. The killings occurred in a semirural area near Edinburg, Texas, about 15 miles from the Mexican border, when assailants stormed two small buildings sharing a lot and opened fire. Six men died in that hail of gunfire; Briones died on October 25, 2004, and other victims included men who were targeted or present at the wrong place and wrong time.

Investigators say the attackers demanded drugs, money, and guns from those inside. One survivor, Rosie Ramos, freed herself from electrical wiring and called 911, later providing information that contributed to arrests. A joint operation by the Texas Rangers and Edinburg police led to the arrest of five suspects, aged between 19 and 33, with additional arrests made in January 2003; the suspects were charged with multiple counts of capital murder.

Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood or knew Cipriano Briones and can share information that could help complete the picture of that night?
