Diego Oswaldo Jauregui Rosales, 31, was turned over to Mexican authorities by the U.S. Immigration and customs Enforcement (ICE), who is wanted for a fatal Christmas shooting in Guadalajara four years ago.

According to the ICE's report, the murder victim, Osvaldo García Velázquez, was standing with two friends on a Guadalajara street corner Christmas morning in 2011 when the accused and two other men came up behind him.

Witnesses say the three men drew weapons and began firing at García and his companions. The murder victim attempted to flee, but he suffered a fatal bullet wound to the chest and collapsed nearby.

"FBI representatives based in Jalisco were alerted by Mexican authorities that the suspect might have sought refuge with relatives in Colusa County." reads the report.

"This fugitive investigation is yet another example of the highly effective partnership between federal and local law enforcement," said U.S. Marshal Albert Najera. "Violent fugitives from anywhere in the world can run, but they cannot hide in the United States for long. We can and will find them."
