Mauricio Jose Lopez Gamboa, a 31-year-old Nicaraguan migrant, was last seen in Dallas, Texas on June 15, 2025. A native of Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, he moved to the United States three years earlier to provide for his children and mother. His family reported him missing after four months without contact, and the Dallas Police Department is investigating his disappearance; a public file was created with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System.

Lopez Gamboa’s wife says he kept regular contact with family, especially his 6-year-old daughter. The last call came from outside a Western Union in Dallas, where he said he was going to send money; the funds never arrived. When the family later called his phone, someone answered and claimed to have bought it and that Lopez Gamboa had vanished. He is described as 5 feet 11 inches, about 190 pounds, Hispanic/Latino, with black hair, brown eyes, long hair, and tattoos on his arms bearing the names of his parents, Verónica and Leonel. The family checked for possible immigration detention but could not find him in detention records.

Anyone who saw Mauricio in Dallas after June 15, 2025, or who has information about the phone that answered his number, is asked to come forward.
