A 49-year-old man is wanted by the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office in connection with the death of his common-law wife.

Ismael Terrazas Diaz was identified as the suspect in the death of 49-year-old Maria De La Carmen De Anda, who was found early Wednesday morning covered in a blanket, lying in a pool of blood at an apartment in Donna, according to a news release.

Deputies responded to the 200 block of Gideon Avenue at around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, where they found De Anda following a "domestic dispute" with Diaz, the release stated.

De Anda's vehicle was missing from the residence and was later found parked near the Hidalgo Port of Entry, where surveillance footage showed Diaz crossing into Mexico.

An arrest warrant is pending for Diaz, the release stated.

Those with any information regarding the investigation are urged to call the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office at 956-383-8114.

Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra is encouraging those who may be in a domestic violence situation to speak up.

“There is a lot of help out there, they just need to reach out to the local law enforcement and district attorney's office,” Guerra said.

A list of resources — including information on how to apply for rental and emergency housing assistance, how to apply for protective orders and where to find emergency shelters — can be found on the Hidalgo County district attorney's website.

Mujeres Unidas in McAllen is one of the organizations that has an emergency shelter for families across the Rio Grande Valley. 

The shelter usually houses families for seven to 10 days, depending on the situation.
