The commemorative Colt .45, which was found in Rio Grande City, matched a gun that was reported stolen in October of 1992. The Lubbock County Sheriff's Office was notified of the recovery in 2013.

The gun has been transferred to the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office and they will return the gun to the original owner tomorrow.
