Migrant abandoned in Arizona desert, search group seeks information
Jun 7, 2026 · AZ, Mexico

Osiel Barrios Parra, a 35-year-old man from Durango, Mexico, went missing after being abandoned in the Arizona desert during a border crossing. His family last communicated with him on June 7, and a third party later informed them that he was left behind near a wash on the route toward 'la aguja,' wearing camouflage clothing. The volunteer search-and-rescue group Armadillos Ni Un Migrante Menos issued an alert seeking any information about his whereabouts.
