SEATTLE - Twenty years after being charged with first-degree murder, a U.S. fugitive known as "El Diablo" (The Devil) was captured in Mexico. Antonio Riaño was returned to the United States on Aug. 1 after authorities found him in the small town of Zapotitlán Palmas, in Oaxaca, where they say he had been working as a local police officer. Riaño was wanted for a deadly shooting outside an Ohio bar 20 years ago.
Riaño was listed as one of the Butler County Sheriff's Office "Most Wanted" and even profiled on the America's Most Wanted television series in 2005. The charges stem from a December 2004 shooting in suburban Cincinnati, when Riaño fled the state and then the country after allegedly shooting and killing 25-year-old Benjamin Becerra.
