The body of the Texas National Guard member who went missing while attempting to rescue migrants from drowning while crossing into the U.S. from Mexico was found Monday, Fox News has learned.
Texas Army National Guard Specialist Bishop E. Evans, 22, went missing near Eagle Pass Friday while attempting to rescue two migrants who "appeared to be drowning while crossing the river from Mexico into the U.S.," according to the Texas Military Department.
Multiple sources tell Fox News that Evans body was found and recovered in Eagle Pass, Texas Monday morning.
Rep. Tony Gonzales’ office separately told Fox News Digital that the Republican congressman received information from Border Patrol that Evans’ body was found Monday morning.
"This morning SPC Evans’ body was found and identified by local authorities," Gonzales said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "This young soldier made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of protecting and serving our country. He will never be forgotten."

Greater love hath no man that lay his life down for another. Hope he gets a medal....and the pols that allowed this? Hope they get the rope.
branDUHn is responsible for this.
The Amnesty Senators singing the siren song of amnesty deserve the rope, but instead we keep re-electing them.
Sadly, the “migrants” he was trying to rescue were actually narcotics traffickers. RIP SPC Evans.

Still the media refuses to cover this story, more blood on Biden’s hands. He’s responsible for more and more U.S. service member deaths each day.
RIP, Lone Star!
This brave soldier died because the vermin who run our country are dedicated to destroying its sovereignty. RIP, son of The Republic. We’ll remember you when we hopefully eliminate from power these rat bastards.
Rip
RIP Dear Man.........this was so preventable!!
Hope he gets a medal....and the pols that allowed this? Hope they get the rope.
My sentiments exactly
Better man than me..... I’d not have risked it... not for a bunch of potential Democrat voters.
saving one person is dangerous, two is near impossible. They often pull you down with them.
My guess is that this will be twisted into a “systemic racism” issue, because blacks don’t have equal access to places to swim, so he wasn’t a strong swimmer.
RIP, Soldier.
Absolutely. This young man died a hero’s death, serving his country and laying down his life for people he thought were innocent victims in dire need. His death is directly on Biden’s shoulders, and there will be thousands more raped or murdered, not to mention millions more displaced, unemployed or otherwise cast into misery by the millions of invaders Biden is welcoming in.
Almost definitely not a strong swimmer. When I was in high school (1957-1961) I spent the first two years in a racially mixed school. The black kids were great athletes except for swimming where they were terrible. Add to that the facts that river swimming is very different from both lake and swimming pool swimming and that this young man probably never did any river swimming, and he was likely to get drowned in the attempted rescue.
Not sure if the tears are from sadness, or rage. I guess both.
I’m thinking it’s more likely that they drowned him on purpose as he’s trying to save them.
I wonder, did they make it across with their drugs ?
Have they been arrested ?
And charged with Murder, BOTH OF THEM !!!
Thank You for Your Service,
Specialist Bishop E. Evans, RIP Sir.
