The Cameron County Sheriff's Office in Texas has announced its reopening of a 1980s cold case murder investigation.

Deputies responded to the 600 block of N. Iowa in Brownsville after receiving a call about a body found at the location.

Upon arriving at the scene, they discovered the body of 47-year-old Alfonso Cavazos inside the bedroom of his home, who had been beaten to death with a blunt force object, according to Valley Central.

After the crime scene was processed, investigators were able to obtain information that led them to believe Cavazos may have been in the company of an unknown woman at the time of the killing.

"This case was investigated, and several suspects and witnesses were interviewed; however, not enough probable cause was found to charge any parties involved," stated a news release from the Cameron County Sheriff's Office.

The evidence collected will now be re-examined with new DNA advancements and technology.
