Mexican police have arrested one of the US Marshals Service's most-wanted fugitives after 24 years on the run.
Suspect Vincent Legrend Walters is wanted in San Diego, California, on murder charges in the 1988 killing of a woman kidnapped as part of a drug deal.
He also faces weapons and drug charges and is on the service's list of 15 most wanted fugitives.
The Marshals Service said Walters had been living in Cancun under the assumed name of Oscar Rivera and was working at Cancun international airport. It said he was arrested on Saturday and had been taken to Mexico City to await extradition procedures.
An airport official said Walters was not an airport employee but rather had worked for a resort selling time-share holiday packages by staffing an information booth at the terminal for about a decade. Outside staffers at such booths are usually not subject to the same security reviews as airport employees.
