Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP64041) and 5 other sources
Jose Juan De La Garza, a 31-year-old man from Brownsville, Texas, was last seen on August 27, 2019. He was reportedly riding a Schwinn bicycle in the 200 block of Thomas Street around noon on that day. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a beige American Eagle shirt, blue and beige plaid shorts, and black sandals. Since that day, no further contact has been made, and he has not been heard from.

Despite efforts from the Brownsville Police Department, including issuing a missing person’s alert and urging the public to come forward with any information, few details about the circumstances of his disappearance have surfaced. The case remains open, and authorities continue to seek leads that could help determine his whereabouts. De La Garza's case is one of many missing persons cases in the region that has not yet been resolved, leaving his family and the community searching for answers.

Anyone with information about his disappearance is encouraged to contact the Brownsville Police Department's Missing Persons Unit to aid in the investigation.
