Josue Guerra Ramirez was 22 when he was last seen on July 15, 2021, in Brooks County, Texas, a sparsely populated area of South Texas where many migrants try to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Brooks County’s desolate terrain has been linked to a high number of disappearances and deaths among people attempting to avoid Border Patrol checkpoints, and Josue’s disappearance is part of that broader pattern.

Josue’s family has been among those searching for loved ones with limited resources, and humanitarian groups such as the South Texas Human Rights Center, led by Eddie Canales, have assisted by helping track missing people and providing lifesaving resources like water stations along common migrant routes. The case remains open; authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward to assist the search.

If anyone saw Josue in or near Brooks County around mid-July 2021 or has information that could help locate him, please share what is known.
