Mario Lozano Lemus is wanted for the homicide of his mother-in-law, 45-year old Irene Ozuna, and his sister-in-law, 24-year old Maria Angelita Vasquez.
Authorities say that Mario's wife called her mother and sister because she and Mario were fighting. Irene, Maria and Maria's husband went to Mario's home to come to his wife's aid. Once they were there, Mario allegedly shot both Irene and Maria to death. Mario fled on foot and is believed to now be in Mexico.
A 2022 Facebook post by the non-profit group Rio Grande Valley Families And Friends Of Murdered Children mentioned that the US Marshals and the Hidalgo County DA have been unable to bring Mario to justice. The reason is that there is no provisional arrest warrant for Mexican authorities to arrest Mario. A provisional arrest warrant can only be issued if Mexican authorities are given the fugitive's exact address.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office at 956-383-8114 if you have any information on Mario Lozano Lemus's whereabouts. You can also contact Hidalgo County Crime Stoppers at 956-668-8477.

Thoughts? As of today, June 1, 2023, Mario is still confirmed to have an active arrest warrant according to my conversation with Rio Grande Valley Families And Friends Of Murdered Children. I checked PACER and did not see an Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution (UFAP) case for Mario.
My thoughts are with Mario's wife (the other daughter of Irene and the sister of Maria). She wanted their help because she was in a fight with her alleged POS husband-from-hell (I only say alleged for legal/liability reasons). Sadly Mario then allegedly killed her mother and sister and fled the country where he is evading justice.
It is disappointing that this manhunt is not well known outside the Rio Grande Valley region of Texas. I really want there to be justice and answers in this case.
