A man wanted for attempted murder in Maricopa County was caught by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers Sunday night while crossing into the United States from Mexico at the San Luis Port of Entry.
Just after 11 p.m., Julian Angel Tamayo, 20, tried to enter the United States on foot, according to a press release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. When questioned by authorities, Tamayo refused to identify himself and as he grew increasingly nervous, he asked to return to Mexico.
Customs and Border Protection officers then took Tamayo into custody. After fingerprinting him they learned he was wanted for an attempted homicide. San Luis Police Department officers took him into custody.
This is the second time in three weeks Customs and Border Protection officers caught individuals sought in connection with an attempted murder, according to the press release.
On Nov. 27, officers caught Francisco Esquivel, 27, and Martha Davalos, 18, also at the San Luis Port of Entry.
Both were wanted in connection with an attempted murder in Yuma.
