Angel Guerra was 15 and a freshman at Rivera Early College High School when he was fatally shot in the abdomen on the evening of January 30, 2026, on the 1300 block of South Indiana Avenue in Brownsville, Texas. The killing devastated his family and classmates; Angel was one of nine siblings and remembered by an older brother as a good kid just starting out in life.

Investigators say the shooting involved a 1911 Taurus 45 caliber handgun. Authorities arrested a 14-year-old friend of Angel’s who is accused of firing the weapon, and they also arrested the firearm’s owner, 25-year-old Edgar Alexis Flores, who has been charged with making a firearm accessible to a child. Police reported Flores and the 14-year-old are cousins and that Flores had kept that pistol and another gun in a bedroom closet where the teenager could reach them.

Who in Brownsville knew Angel or has information about that evening that could help clarify what happened?
