Authorities in South Texas are actively searching for Manuel De Jesus Cruz-Estudillo, a 42-year-old man who is currently at large and wanted on two counts of murder. The investigation stems from a double homicide that occurred in a rural community east of Laredo, specifically in the Pueblo Nuevo area located approximately 11 miles east of the city off State Highway 359. The incident took place shortly before 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 24, 2026, when deputies from the Webb County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call regarding a shooting. Upon arrival, law enforcement officers discovered two victims who had been shot. Deputies immediately administered CPR and other life-saving measures while calling for additional medical assistance. Despite these efforts, one victim died at the scene, and the second victim was transported to a hospital where they subsequently succumbed to their injuries. Investigators have identified Cruz-Estudillo as the suspect and have issued two murder warrants for his arrest. He was last seen driving a black Volkswagen Atlas SUV. The Webb County Sheriff’s Office is urging the public to remain vigilant and to report any information regarding the shooting or the suspect’s whereabouts. Individuals with tips are encouraged to contact the agency directly at 956-415-BUST, which corresponds to 956-415-2878, or at 956-523-4408. As the manhunt continues, authorities emphasize the importance of community assistance in locating the suspect and bringing him to justice for the alleged crimes.
