MISSION, TEXAS — Two men were shot and killed in what police think was an attempted drug robbery in Mission, Texas on December 26, according to Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office.
Around 3 p.m., four men arrived at a home in rural Mission, and a shootout occurred between them and two men who were outside the home.
The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office released surveillance footage of the shooting, which they believe shows an attempt to steal a large quantity of marijuana, but ended in bloodshed and the shooters getting away without any drugs.
Both victims were identified by police working with Border Patrol as 24-year-old Rodrigo Villanueva Alvarez, who lived at the house that was shot up, and 43-year-old Juan Camorlinga Torres, who police believe came to the house with three others.
The gunfight only lasted a few seconds, but the two victims died on the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. The shooters fled in two separate vehicles. Police are currently on the hunt for the duo.
Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office identified two of the suspects as 37-year-old Alberto Garcia Ocanas, and 50-year-old Ramon Alguilar Jr., who are both wanted on warrants for capital murder.
Police investigating the premises found firearms, more than $50,000 in cash, and 37 bundles of marijuana weighing in at about 414 pounds total. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division.
