LANCASTER - Federal investigators say the gun used to kill fallen ICE agent Jaime Zapata in Mexico has been traced to a Texas man.

Agents of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested the man and two other suspected gun smugglers in raids in Lancaster, a suburb of Dallas, on Monday.

ATF spokesman Tom Crowley says the U.S. Justice Department in Washington, D.C., plans to release more information.

Zapata and his partner Victor Avila were attacked on a highway near San Luis Potosi nearly two weeks ago. Zapata was killed and Avila was wounded.
