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.

A white car with "Cordis DIE" spray-painted on its door being towed away by a tow truck, with a police officer overseeing.

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.

Although it is unclear exactly what “Cordis Die” stood for in this circumstance, the term is featured in 2012’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II, a popular shooter video game, and stands for “Heart Day” in 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.

“The threats are always looming, they’re always present, and incidents like these make us realize that we’ve always got to be on guard,” Rodriguez said.

“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 cannot tell you how many rounds were fired from the suspect, but there were many, many, many dozens of rounds fired by the suspect toward the building and toward agents in that building,” Rodriguez said.

“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.
