The FBI says that his whereabouts are unknown and it is believed he may still be in Mexico and may be the victim of a kidnapping.
Villarreal, a U.S. citizen, is approximately 5’4" in height and approximately 140 pounds, says the FBI. He has brown eyes and brown hair but is known to shave his head, so may have been bald when he went missing. He also has multiple tattoos on his neck, chest, and right forearm and was last seen wearing an all-black athletic tracksuit.
Villarreal was doing personal training and was planning on opening a business, according to the FBI.
Anyone with any information is urged to call FBI San Antonio Division at 210-225-6741 or submit tips online. Individuals who provide information may remain anonymous.
