An AMBER Alert was issued for Aguilar, with his father, 38-year-old Juan Aguilar-Cano, named as the suspect. Police also said Aguilar-Cano was the suspect in Lopez's death.
Aguliar-Cano's vehicle was found near a Tornado Bus Company in Houston, but he and the boy were not there.
AMBER Alert: Dallas County boy believed to be in Mexico, away from father, police say
Wilmer police say they believe the 10-year-old boy at the center of an AMBER Alert issued earlier this week is with family in Mexico.
Authorities then said they were in communication with Aguilar's family, and said they believed he was in Mexico and not with his father.
On Saturday, police and family confirmed Aguilar has been safely returned to the U.S. and is safe with his family. They are bringing him back home. No further details were released on his return.
Police said Aguilar-Cano has still not been found and they are continuing to search for him.
