Alonso Guillen, 31 was a DJ at a Lufkin, Texas radio station. Family members recovered his body from Houston floodwaters Sunday.

LUFKIN DJ’s BODY FOUND- Last week we reported on two Lufkin men who went missing  after a rescue boat they were in, capsized near Houston during heavy flooding. We have an update and it isn’t good news.  A report from the Houston Chronicle says:  Last Sunday, family members who went to the area to search for his body, pulled 31 yr old  Alonso Guillen from Cypress Creek in Spring. Known as “DJ Ocho", for a radio station in Lufkin, Guillen and his friend Tomas Carreon Jr. went to Houston as volunteers for boat rescues.  Their boat hit an interstate 45 frontage road bridge and capsized.  Carreon’s body was spotted around 1pm on Friday in the swift-moving creek.   Funeral arrangements for both men are pending.

Tomas Carreon, 25 was recovered from Houston floodwaters last Friday.
