In 1870, Eugenio went riding from La Grulla on his horse to visit relatives and friends in Las Cuevitas. He was not seen again in La Grulla. His family searched for him for weeks but never found him. Months later, his remains and those of his horse were discovered in the thick brush just off the trail near Penitas, Texas. The hand bones still had a gold ring with the initials E.L., identifying the remains as those of Eugenio. The skull of the horse had three bullet holes in it. The cause of his death was never determined.
His parents, Juan Longoria and Yrinea Villarreal, dedicated the building of the San Roque church in La Grulla to his memory.
