MEXICO CITY — Mexican authorities said Wednesday that they have arrested a man for the weekend killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was run over by a suspected smuggler’s vehicle.
Agent Luis Aguilar, 32, was placing spike strips in the path of two vehicles believed to have illegally entered the U.S. from Mexico on Saturday when one of the vehicles struck and killed him, authorities in Arizona said.
Mexican federal and state police arrested Jesus Navarro Montes on Tuesday in Sonora for the killing, said Mexico’s federal Attorney General’s office and Public Safety Department.
Authorities believe Navarro was headed for the U.S. in a Hummer carrying drugs on Saturday, the statement said.
