Missouri couple found shot to death in Guatemala field weeks after deportation, with 1-year-old daughter still alive beside them

A Guatemalan man, previously deported from the United States and his wife, who recently self-deported from Missouri to join him, were discovered fatally shot in a sugarcane field in southwestern Guatemala, according to Reuters. 43-year-old Nixon Giovanni Perez and Glendy Marisol Gonzalez, 25, were found with their hands tied behind their backs outside the city of Retalhuleu. Their 1-year-old daughter was found dehydrated but alive right beside them.

Per the outlet, police reported that Perez appeared to have a gunshot wound to his neck, while Gonzalez had a wound to her head. Authorities recovered shell casings and a single pink and white Champion shoe at the scene, along with a red striped motorbike. The couple had been reported missing the previous week, as noted by local news reports.
