On the side of his vehicle, investigators found the phrase &#8220;Cordis Die,&#8221; wich refers to a fictional violent faction from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/illinois-lawmaker-wants-to-ban-grand-theft-auto-claiming-its-responsible-for-increased-carjackings\/\" title=\"Illinois Lawmaker Wants To Ban \u2018Grand Theft Auto,\u2019 Claiming It\u2019s Responsible For Increased Carjackings\">video game series<\/a> &#8220;call of Duty.&#8221; Mosqueda, wearing a utility vest and armed with a rifle, engaged in a shootout with police, injuring three individuals, including two police officers and a Border Patrol employee.

Authorities reported that the phrase &#8220;Cordis Die&#8221; was inscribed on the side of the shooter&#8217;s car, referencing a violent fictional group from the well-known video game series &#8220;Call of Duty.&#8221; The suspect, 27-year-old Ryan Luis Mosqueda, was shot and killed at the scene after he fired upon the Border Patrol sector annex in McAllen, Texas. He had been reported missing just hours before. This morning, an individual began shooting at the entrance of this facility. Both Border Patrol agents and local police worked together to subdue him. Two officers and a Border Patrol employee sustained injuries during this incident; one officer was shot in the knee&#8230; &#8211; Homeland Security (@DHSgov) July 7, 2025 Mosqueda was armed with a rifle and wore a utility vest during his attack, according to McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez.<\/p>\n<p>Federal agents returned fire and fatally struck Mosqueda outside of the facility. Law enforcement also recovered another rifle along with additional ammunition near him. The motive behind Mosqueda&#8217;s actions is still unclear as the FBI leads an ongoing investigation; reports indicate he fired numerous rounds at police before being neutralized. Three individuals were injured-two police officers and one Border Patrol employee-with initial reports suggesting that shrapnel may have caused some injuries; however, this has not yet been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>All three victims were taken to hospitals following this ambush. &#8220;This morning an individual opened fire at the entrance of the United States Border Patrol sector annex in McAllen,&#8221; stated Homeland Security in comments obtained by reporter Ali Bradley.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Both Border Patrol agents and local police helped neutralize him.&#8221; Investigators have yet to determine if &#8220;Cordis Die&#8221; holds any ideological meaning or if it merely references a video game element. In &#8220;Call of Duty&#8221; lore, Cordis Die is depicted as a revolutionary faction promoting global unrest against Western powers.
