The formal documents requesting extradition for murder suspect Raul Gomez-Garcia were filed by the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City on Thursday, according to the Denver district attorney’s office.
“Authorities tell us that from here, his extradition could take anywhere from one to three years,” said Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the office.
Gomez-Garcia is accused of killing Denver police Detective Donald “Donnie” Young and wounding Detective John “Jack” Bishop on Mother’s Day after he was barred from entering a baptismal celebration.
He was captured in Culiacán, Mexico, on June 4. He is being held by Mexican authorities in Mexico City.
