Felipe Mancilla, 36, was found with multiple gunshot wounds on the road in the 2400 block of Venecia Drive just outside Mission, Texas, around 1:47 a.m. on September 6, 2025. Deputies with the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office attempted life-saving measures but pronounced him dead at the scene. Early investigative statements described the encounter as appearing drug-related.

Investigators developed leads the same morning and executed a search warrant at a residence in the 1000 block of Pine Street in nearby Alton. During that operation a man later named in reporting as Paulino Guerra Jr., 51, opened fire, striking a sheriff’s deputy’s helmet; law enforcement returned fire and killed the shooter. The deputy survived. Authorities identified Guerra Jr. as the only suspect in the killing of Felipe Mancilla and no additional arrests had been announced.

Felipe F. Mancilla Oviedo, 36, of Mission, is listed in memorial and obituary notices with the September 6, 2025, date of death. Does anyone in the area have information about Mancilla’s movements or contacts in the hours before he was found?
