Gunman Killed After Ambush Injures Border Agents Near McAllen Airport

News summary

Ryan Louis Mosqueda, a 27-year-old man reported missing earlier that morning, ambushed Border Patrol agents at the Rio Grande Valley Sector Annex near McAllen, Texas, opening fire with an assault rifle while wearing tactical gear. During the attack, Mosqueda fired many rounds, injuring two officers and a Border Patrol employee, including one officer wounded in the knee, before he was shot and killed by federal agents. Spray-painted on the side of his white Chevrolet sedan was the phrase “Cordis Die,” which references a fictional terrorist organization featured in the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II and translates to "Heart Day" in Latin. Authorities found additional weapons and ammunition both in Mosqueda’s vehicle and in a backpack he carried. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, though police acknowledged the phrase’s origin and its possible significance. McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez emphasized the ongoing threat environment and the need for vigilance, while the incident caused flight delays at McAllen Airport.
