Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP157926)
Mauricio Jose Lopez Gamboa, a 31-year-old Nicaraguan migrant, was last seen in Dallas, Texas on June 15, 2025. A native of Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, he had moved to the United States three years prior to provide a better life for his children and mother. His family reported him as missing after four months of not hearing from him, prompting a plea for help from the Nicaraguan community in the United States.
The Dallas Police Department is investigating his disappearance, and a public case file has been created with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System.
According to his wife, Lopez Gamboa maintained constant communication with his family, especially his 6-year-old daughter. The last time she spoke with him, he was outside a Western Union in Dallas and mentioned he was going to send money. The funds were never received, and his family has been unable to reach him since. When they tried calling his phone, another individual answered, claiming to have purchased the phone and that Lopez Gamboa had disappeared without a trace.
At the time of his disappearance, Mauricio Lopez Gamboa was 31 years old, stood at 5'11", and weighed approximately 190 pounds. He is a Hispanic/Latino male with black hair and brown eyes. He has distinctive tattoos on his arms with the names of his parents, Verónica and Leonel, and he wore his hair long. His family initially feared he may have been detained by immigration authorities, but they have been unable to locate him in any detention records. The family remains deeply concerned and is seeking any information that could lead to his whereabouts.Last Seen: Jun 15, 2025
