Two brothers wanted in connection with a double homicide investigation are believed to have fled to Mexico, according to the Cameron County Sheriff’s Office.
Enrique “Kiko” Gutierrez and Odilon Gutierrez were identified in a Friday news release as the suspects wanted on capital murder charges in connection with the deadly shooting that occurred in Brownsville last week.
Their identities were revealed after a search warrant was executed at a residence on Jenika Avenue by investigators with the sheriff’s office and their SWAT unit, according to a news release.
