The Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information about a double homicide that occurred in 2015 to come forward.
In a news release, the sheriff’s office said that on May 12, 2015, deputies responded to a home near Mile 10 North and Mile 1 West in rural Mercedes for a welfare concern and discovered the bodies of two men.
