WILMER, Texas — The Wilmer Police Department discontinued an AMBERT Alert for a 10-year-old boy who went missing earlier this month after his mother had been found dead.
According to the update, the boy, 10-year-old Ian Aguilar was found. The boy's father, 38-year-old Juan Aguilar-Cano, is still wanted for allegedly killing the boy's mother, 48-year-old Zuleika Arzate-Lopez.
Zuri Lopez, the sister of Aguilar, confirmed that he had been retrieved from Mexico and his back with his family in the U.S.
The family of Aguilar sent the following photo to WFAA on Saturday afternoon, showing him reunited with his sister.
The Texas Department of Public Safety issued the initial AMBER Alert for the Aguilar on Nov. 14, at 9:03 p.m., saying his father was the lead suspect in the boy's disappearance and the boy's mother.
Neighbors reported seeing Zuri Lopez, assisted by an officer, trying to enter the home to find Ian's mother and then making the horrific discovery around 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Lopez said she was frustrated police didn't go to the home earlier after a relative phoned 911 after receiving a call from Aguilar-Cano, who admitted he had done something terrible and "should kill himself."
Those same neighbors mentioned that Aguilar-Cano hadn't been himself lately. Lopez's daughter added that her mother was in a toxic relationship with Aguilar-Cano and that she had recently made plans to remove him from her life and their house.
Aguilar-Cano's last serious arrest came in 2008 when he was charged with evading arrest with a vehicle in Ennis. According to court records, he pleaded guilty in an agreement for two years probation.
Zuleika Arzate-Lopez worked for the City of Dallas for 19 years in the Development Services department.
In a statement, the City of Dallas said, "Her department is grieving the news of her passing... her presence is sorely missed. Our deepest condolences are with her family, and we pray that Ian will be found safe and unharmed."
