SAN DIEGO, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- A fugitive wanted for the slaying of his wife in San Diego in 2010 was arrested Sunday in Tijuana, Mexico, police said.
Police had been searching for Armando Perez since Oct. 12, 2010, when Diana Gonzalez, his estranged wife, was killed in a mens' bathroom on the campus of San Diego City College, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Perez was named as the main suspect in the murder, police said. He then fled to Mexico where he has been since.
San Diego police homicide detectives obtained a warrant for Perez's arrest, while the Mexican government issued a provisional arrest warrant allowing Perez to be detained in that country for extradition to the United States.
Perez is expected to be transferred from Tijuana to Mexico City, where he will be granted an extradition hearing.
