On the evening of September 3, 2024, at about 8:32 p.m., deputies from the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of gunfire in the 8200 block of East Curry Road, a rural area near Edinburg, Texas. They found 67-year-old Jorge Luis Lopez lying face down in a driveway with multiple gunshot wounds. Lopez was taken to a nearby hospital and was later pronounced dead.

Lopez, born October 29, 1956, founded U.S. 281 Truck and Trailer Services in 1994 and was described as a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who contributed to the Edinburg community for three decades. The Sheriff’s Office has treated the death as a homicide but, as of December 23, 2024, no suspects had been identified and the motive remained unclear; the case was described as cold and authorities asked the public for help.

Does anyone in the Edinburg area have information about activity around East Curry Road on the night of September 3, 2024?
