Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP94515)
Erik Jacobo-Ramirez, a 21-year-old man from La Pryor, Texas, went missing on June 13, 2022, under highly suspicious circumstances. His disappearance is believed to be linked to a conflict involving a Mexican drug cartel. According to reports, Erik had allegedly stolen a significant sum of money from the Cartel del Noreste, an offshoot of the notorious Los Zetas cartel. He was last seen at a party in Laredo, Texas, where he reportedly boasted about taking $50,000 from the cartel.
Shortly after midnight, a group of armed men arrived at the location, assaulted Erik, and forcibly abducted him, transporting him across the border into Mexico. Security footage showed a man matching Erik's description trying to escape from a moving vehicle, but he was pulled back inside. Despite efforts by authorities, Erik remains missing, and it is feared that his kidnapping was a direct retaliation for the theft. The FBI and local law enforcement continue to investigate the case, but so far, Erik's whereabouts remain unknown.Last Seen: Jun 13, 2022
