Henry Solis, 27,
was detained in the border city of Ciudad Juarez and was handed
over to Mexican migration authorities, the Chihuahua state
prosecutor's office said in a statement.
Agents of the state prosecutor's office captured Solis on
Tuesday following coordination with U.S. authorities, it added.
Solis was deported to the United States on Tuesday evening and
will be held in custody in El Paso, Texas, FBI spokeswoman Laura
Eimiller said in a statement.
Solis is accused of shooting Salome Rodriguez Jr. multiple times
on March 13 near a strip of nightclubs in downtown Pomona, about
35 miles (55 km) east of Los Angeles.
Solis, who was off-duty at the time of the shooting, was
terminated by the Los Angeles Police Department after he was
named a suspect in the case.
Authorities said Solis then fled to Mexico, allegedly with the
help of his father, 53-year-old Victor Solis. The father was
arrested in late March and was charged with lying to federal
agents.
