Felicito Gomez Rosales was 19 when he was last seen on April 15, 2011, north of Caborca, Arizona, in an area within Pima County. He was part of a group crossing the U.S.-Mexico border and was described as Hispanic, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, 150 to 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
According to someone in the group, they walked from about 5 p.m. through the night, rested two hours at 4 a.m., resumed at 6 a.m., and kept going until roughly 9 a.m. when Felicito felt ill and slowed. Ten minutes later the group passed a freeway, believed to be State Route 86, and Border Patrol appeared; the group scattered and Felicito was separated and never seen again. He was wearing black dress pants, a black long-sleeved button-up shirt with shiny stripes, black Van-style tennis shoes, and carrying a black backpack with drinks and his Mexican Voter ID card.
The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office is listed as the investigating agency.
If anyone was in that area that day or remembers seeing someone matching his description, please share information with investigators.
