Laredo, Texas - On June 25, Fernando Javier Huerta Moguel, 22, aka, "El Jarocho" originally from Tetelcingo, in the municipality of Coscomatepec de Bravo in the State of Veracruz, Mexico was reported missing to family members by a human trafficking smuggler known as a Pollero. According to the unidentified Pollero, he called the family in Veracruz to inform them that Huerta Moguel had disappeared from the area where he was left behind after getting heat stroke and fainted due to the hot weather in the Texas Southern region along the Laredo U.S. border sector. The Pollero decided to leave him behind and continue with the group that he was smuggling into the U.S. and had told Huerta Moguel that he would return for him. The Pollero later returned for Huerta Moguel, but he was no longer at the same spot where he was left.
The family contacted the border patrol customs in both Mexico and the U.S. about Huerta Moguel being missing.
On July 9th, the family was contacted by authorities that his body was found in the Laredo border sector.
His extended family from Milwaukee, Wisconsin gathered on Saturday, July 17 to raise funds to transport his body back to Veracruz, according to a fundraising event post in Facebook.
