Brownsville Police Department Spokeswoman Melissa Gonzalez said Luis Reyna Zuniga's family told police the last time they saw the elderly man was about 5:30 p.m.

 

During the course of the investigation, Gonzalez said police requested the Brownsville Fire Department join the search and deploy a drone in the effort to locate Zuniga, who suffers from unspecified medical conditions. At 11:11 p.m., Brownsville Fire Department drone operator Desi Tristan spotted Zuniga sitting in tall grass in a field by the levee in the vicinity of W. 5th Street and Ramireno Lane.
