Fastest FBI Ten Most Wanted arrest: Fugitive nabbed in Mexico 73 minutes after listing
A U.S. fugitive, Samuel Ramirez Jr., accused in the May 2023 Federal Way bar killings, was captured in Culiacán, Mexico just 73 minutes after the FBI added him to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list—the quickest arrest in the list’s history (beating the 1969 record of two hours). He was deported back to the United States, booked into King County jail, and will be arraigned in about two weeks, with authorities highlighting cross-border cooperation between U.S. and Mexican agencies.
