Fugitive from September jail break serving time for murder

Del Rio, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Brackettville Station captured a known fugitive who escaped from a Mexican penal facility last year.

On Sept. 17, 132 inmates at the Centro de Readaptación Social (CERESO) Prison at Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico escaped, sparking a massive manhunt on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Since that time, U.S. Border Patrol officials have worked closely with the government of Mexico to identify the escapees, and remain in constant communication to effect their capture.
