Unlike the famous Muhammad Ali fights 'The Thrilla in Manilla' & 'The Rumble in the Jungle' -- 'The Killa in Brazilla' does NOT involve a boxing match. However, it does involve a Championship Boxer. Arturo "Thunder" Gatti, recently retired from the ring, was still battling alcohol and his new wife, Amanda. In an attempt to reconcile, the two travel to Brazil with their young son. But it isn't long before a drunken Arturo is throwing hands at Amanda in the street (leading to an angry mob attacking him.) That night, Amanda tells Arturo they're done. But the next morning Arturo is the one who is done, when he's found dead in a pool of blood. Was it murder or (trigger warning) suicide? You be the judge!

Since you want to sling statistics, California, which also borders Mexico, has 2,500 homicides per year. This is 300 more per year than the number you attributed to Texas. Maybe Gov. Newsome needs to reverse his border in the other direction as well. Or maybe the fact that California is a blue state while Texas is a red state is what saved California from your judgment.
