US Fugitive Captured in Jalisco After 30‑Year Manhunt

Mexican police arrested Juan Osvaldo R. M. and a 16‑year‑old after a homicide in the Riveras del Bravo area, locating the suspects following gunfire reports and seizing two black balaclavas. In a separate high‑profile operation, state security forces in Jalisco used drones, a mobile C2 Cybertruck and the Aerotáctico Titán squad to apprehend a 49‑year‑old U.S. fugitive wanted for a 1990s rape conviction; he was handed over to immigration authorities for extradition. In Ciudad Juárez, a man was shot in the Mariano Escobedo neighborhood, received first‑aid and was taken to his home while investigators began evidence collection. A report by the organization Causa en Común placed Chihuahua as the fifth‑most affected Mexican state by violent atrocities in the first half of 2026, documenting 140 high‑impact events including murders, torture and arsons, with the state recording 137 victims.
