>A Texas sheriff has requested the help of Mexican authorities to find the body of American tourist David Michael Hartley, who was believed shot in the back of the head on Falcon Lake Thursday after being ambushed by armed boaters.
>
>Texas Parks & Wildlife Department spokesman Mike Cox said Friday that authorities continued searching the U.S. side of the recreation spot, about 60 miles south of Laredo, for the 30-year-old man.
>
>Hartley and his wife, Tiffany, were riding personal watercrafts back from Mexico on the lake around 2:45 p.m. Thursday when approximately six gunmen approached in two boats and opened fire, said Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez.
>
>Though it is unclear what exactly happened to Hartley, the sheriff said he was apparently shot when the couple attempted to flee after they spotted the boaters. His wife was not hurt and reportedly tried circling back to pull her husband from the water, but she was forced to speed away to U.S. waters after the gunmen opened fire again.
