A CHILLING message was spray-painted on the side of the supposed car of a gunman who was shot dead after ambushing border patrol agents this morning.

The man, identified as 27-year-old Ryan Louis Mosqueda, was killed on Monday after shooting at officials with a gun near a Texas airport.

The motive remains unclear.

Mosqueda was shot and killed by agents during the shootout, according to McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez.

A McAllen police officer was injured in the knee but will be fine, police said.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation tweeted that in total, two officers and one Border Patrol employee was injured.

All three were taken to the hospital.

The shooter had been reported missing just hours earlier from Weslaco, Texas.

The car held more guns and ammunition, according to police, with what officials believe to be Latin writing inside of the vehicle.

He was also carrying a backpack with more ammunition, Rodriguez said.

On the side of a white Chevy photographed near the scene, the words “Cordis Die” was written in black spray paint across the driver side door.

While the exact meaning of “Cordis Die” in this context remains uncertain, the term originates from the 2012 video game, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, where it translates to “Heart Day” from Latin.

In the game, it represents a militant anarchist terrorist organization that are the main antagonists of the story.

Game publisher Activision did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“Threats are constantly looming and ever-present, and situations like this remind us that we must always remain vigilant,” stated Rodriguez.

“I think I speak for everybody here, the world is much smaller than we think sometimes.”

He was carrying a Michigan driver’s license, police said, and had Michigan plates on his vehicle.

The shooting resulted in delays for flights at the McAllen Airport.

“I can’t specify the number of shots fired by the suspect, but there were countless rounds directed towards the building and the agents inside it,” Rodriguez noted.

“We have no reason to believe at this point in time that there are any more threats in this area.”

The FBI is now leading the investigation.

“It takes events like these to really wake you up and say, you know what we’re really, really tiny in terms of the world,” Rodriguez said.
