MISSION, TEXAS -- Hidalgo County investigators have identified the body of a McAllen woman found north of Mission.

The victim is 35 year old Maria Rita Soto Magallan.

A farmer discovered her body near the intersection of Glasscock Road and 8 Mile Line on Tuesday.

She had a gunshot wound to her upper torso.

Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño is asking for the public's help to find her killer.

"If they can give us information as to who she was associating with and who possibly was the last person to see her alive, that would be helpful," Sheriff Treviño said.

Anyone with information on the murder should call Hidalgo County Crime Stoppers at (956) 668-TIPS or your local police department.
