Authorities in Zapata County, Texas, are looking for help identifying a hitman for a Mexican drug cartel who is accused of crossing the border illegally, breaking into a man's home, and murdering him.

Police said last Wednesday that a sicario, or hitman, of the "Tropa Del Infierno" gang carried out a fatal home invasion in the Medina Addition of Zapata. They are seeking the public's help in identifying the suspect, who is accused of participating in the murder of 22-year-old man, the Laredo Morning Times reported.

A press release from the Zapata County Sheriff's Office said that on Friday, July 23, police responded to a call in the Medina Addition where gun shots had been fired in the early morning. Arriving at the scene of the incident, police found a young man in his early 20s who had been shot multiple times in his own home, where he died of his injuries. The victim was identified as Santos Flores III. -- excerpt, rest at link above --
