MEXICO CITY -- Infamous drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, who was behind the killing of a U.S. DEA agent in 1985, has been captured by Mexican forces nearly a decade after walking out of a Mexican prison and returning to drug trafficking, an official with Mexico's navy confirmed Friday.
Caro Quintero walked free in 2013 after 28 years in prison when a court overturned his 40-year sentence for the 1985 kidnapping and killing of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique"Kiki" Camarena. The brutal murder marked a low point in U.S.-Mexico relations. Camarena was working at the agency's Guadalajara office at the time, after previously working out of the field offices in Fresno, California and his hometown of Calexico, California.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has maintained that he is not interested in detaining drug lords and prefers to avoid violence. He was on the FBI's most wanted list, with a $20 million reward for his capture through the State Department's Narcotics Rewards Program. He was added to the FBI's top 10 most wanted list in 2018.

Wow, took a long time to catch him. Great. So let’s bribe who we have to and have some guys from Black Water bring him to any border checkpoint so that he can finally face some real justice. It’s time for him to go in front a US Judge and jury.
