The man, identified as 43-year-old Roberto Carlos Ornelas, was pronounced dead at the hospital after deputies attempted life-saving measures on him, the sheriff’s office said. 

On Wednesday, the sheriff’s office said preliminary autopsy results determined the cause of death to be blunt force trauma to the head.

The sheriff's office said Ornelas was picked up from his home by two of the suspects, who transported him to the residence of the third suspect.

“While there, the victim was assaulted to the point of unconsciousness,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “The suspects then returned the victim to his home and left him in the front yard, where a family member found him.”

The investigation is ongoing, and those with any information are urged to contact the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office at 956-383-8114.
