Pharr man found in car trunk in Mexico identified

A Mexican police official said a Texas man has been found beaten to death in the trunk of a car in a Mexican border town.

Tamaulipas chief homicide investigator Fernando Miranda said Ramiro Torres Hernandez, 25, was found dead Friday on a back road in Reynosa.

Officials said on Monday that Torres was a resident of Pharr, but it was unclear if he was a U.S. citizen. He was identified by a sister who lives in Mexico.

The Tamaulipas investigator said a cousin told police he was with Torres at a store when two armed men forced him into a car on Wednesday. Police were investigating why the cousin did not report the abduction.

Miranda said the motive was unknown but could involve drugs.
