Probable Cause:

On July 27, 2019 at about 4:00 AM. I, Traffic Investigator Jose Cavazos, Jr. #0240, was called to report to
a fatal hit run Crash on the 900 block of W. westbound. Upon arrival I observed a blue KIA
Sportage displaying TX-BZF1640 parked on the improved shoulder with damage to the left driver's door
and left front fender. Further west I observed in the grass median a body identi?ed as Jesus Zamudio
(09/25/1996), a 22 year old male. Debris was found on the scene, that included a right hand door rearview
mirror which contained a part number. Spikes Ford parts department con?rmed that the part was exclusive
to a 2015-2019 Gray Ford Mustang GT.

On July 29th, 2019 at about 1:00 A.M., almost 2 days later (approx 46 hrs), Mauro Esparza [11
(08/14/1996) and Ruby ESparza (10/18/1995) arrived to the Mission Police Department to report that they
were involved in a crash which resulted in damage to a vehicle and death to Jesus Zamudio. Mauro Esparza
111 provided a video recorded statement of accused that he was driving the gray Ford Mustang displaying
TX-KJX0128 after a night of drinking alcohol in downtown McAllen. He said he was traveling with his
cousin Ruby Esparza westbound on 11-1-2 and collided with the KIA Sportage. He stated he knew he hit a
car but was unaware he hit a pedestrian. A look at the Mustang revealed that the windshield area and right
that fender area contained blood, strands of hair and other human tissue. As per Defendant after knowing
his involvement in the crash he failed to report it and ?ed to Mexico. The defendant debated about turning
himself in. At about 1:00 AM. on July 29, 2019 the defendant made the decision to come in to the police
department to report the crash.
