American detectives successfully tracked down a fugitive, Antonio Riano, to Oaxaca, Mexico, 20 years after he allegedly shot and killed a man outside an Ohio bar. Riano, now 62, was charged with first-degree murder for the incident that occurred in 2004 outside the Roundhouse Bar in Hamilton, Ohio. Witnesses reported an argument between Riano and the victim, Benjamin Becarra, inside the bar, which escalated outside resulting in Becarra's fatal shooting captured by a security camera.
Riano was apprehended in Zapotitlan Palmas, Mexico, where he was found to be working as a local police officer. Despite his arrest, Riano denied the murder allegations, stating he became a police officer to help the people of Mexico. The U.S. Marshals office confirmed his arrest and extradition to the United States.
