MEXICO CITY — Soldiers and federal police arrested a reputed leader of the Tijuana based Arellano Felix cartel after a shootout in the border city across from San Diego, authorities said Sunday.
Eduardo Arellano Felix, 52, was captured Saturday night together with his 11-year-old daughter, Assistant Secretary of Public Safety Facundo Rosas told reporters.
The suspect was flown to Mexico City. The U.S. State Department once offered $5 million for his capture.
Rosas said Arellano Felix and his sister Enedina Arellano Felix took over the drug clan’s leadership after several of their brothers were arrested or killed.
