May 12 (UPI) -- Authorities said a body found along train tracks in San Antonio on Monday is connected to the six people discovered dead in a boxcar in a Texas-Mexico border city over the weekend.
No arrests have been made amid the investigation into the discovery Sunday of six bodies in a train car in Laredo, a South Texas city along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar told reporters Monday afternoon from the side of a road in San Antonio that a seventh body had been found near where he was standing by Union Pacific police at about 1:30 p.m. CDT.
He said the victim was a male, whose age and identity have yet to be determined. The body had already begun decomposing, he said.
"What I can tell you is that while we cannot release his name at this point, what we do know is that he was in possession of a voter registration card of some sort from Mexico," Salazar said.
