A man wanted for murder in Ventura County has been arrested in Mexico.
On February 16 of last year, Oxnard Police were called to the intersection of H and Second Streets by reports of a shooting. They found Ruben Villa on the ground with a gunshot wound. He died at the scene.
Oxnard Police detectives identified Alvaro Cervantes of Oxnard as a suspect. They discovered he had fled to Mexico. Last week, Mexican State Police found and took Cervantes into custody in Tijuana.
He was taken to the U.S./Mexico border, where Oxnard Police Detectives, Ventura County Sheriff’s investigators, and FBI agents arrested him for prosecution in the United States.
