"I knew that if he came back here, they were going to kill him, and look, that’s what happened."

Juan Coronilla-Guerrero — a 28-year-old Mexican man whose wife pleaded with a U.S. federal judge that he would be killed if he was deported — was found murdered in Central Mexico, the Austin American-Statesman first reported.

Coronilla-Guerrero’s body was found on the side of a road in San Luis de la Paz, Guanajuato, the publication reported Monday, 40 minutes away from where he had been living with his wife’s mother and his son.

. . .

When gunmen stormed a house owned by the family of Coronilla-Guerrero’s wife on September 12, he allegedly told his son, “‘Don’t worry, my love. Don’t worry'” when they held a pistol to his head. An autopsy report shows he was killed by gunshot wounds consistent with a homicide.

His wife who went to Mexico for his funeral will not return to Austin, she told the publication. Coronilla-Guerrero’s wife said that it was likely her husband had been killed by the same gangs that compelled him to flee for Texas in the first place.

1. This is heartbreaking, how many of these situations are we not hearing about?

There was a suicide I remember from January or March. I think if they are deporting so many people there has to be more, unfortunately.
