Mexico murder suspect arrested in Buckeye

A man wanted in Mexico for the killings of two police officers has been arrested in Buckeye.

Deputy U.S. marshals and officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement captured Heraclio Guevara-Juarez, 31, Wednesday afternoon in the area of Palo Verde and Buckeye Roads.

Guevara-Juarez, a Mexican national, is wanted in Zacatecas, Mexico, for three counts of armed robbery, two counts of homicide and escape.

Guevara-Juarez was arrested in Mexico in 2005 and admitted committing numerous armed robberies, the U.S. marshal's office in Phoenix said.

He escaped from custody and killed two police officers before allegedly coming to the United States to hide. During the course of the fugitive investigation, deputies determined that Guevara-Juarez had assumed the identity of one of his family members in Mexico. He had obtained work and was living at a large dairy farm in Buckeye when he was arrested.

Guevara-Juarez, who had been deported from the U.S. six times previously, voluntarily returned to Mexico and was turned over to Mexican police at the Nogales Port of Entry, the marshal's office said.

A fugitive wanted for killing two Mexican police officers during a jail escape three years ago has been arrested in Buckeye, where authorities said he has been living with his family and working at a dairy for the past two years.

Heraclio Guevara-Juarez, 31, was arrested Wednesday morning at the Triple G Dairy, on the corner of Broadway and Palo Verde roads, said Deputy Matt Hershey of the U.S. Marshals Service, who worked on the case. Deputies drove him back to Mexico early Thursday. Administrators at the dairy declined to comment.

"By the nature of the charges, he's pretty unpredictable," Hershey said. "Anybody like that is going to be extremely dangerous. You just never know." advertisement




Authorities say Guevara-Juarez assumed the identity of his brother-in-law and registered vehicles in Phoenix under the false name. Officials in Mexico got wind of the alias, learned he was in the area and contacted the U.S. Marshals Service last week.

Guevara-Juarez was originally arrested in Zacatecas, Mexico, on charges of robbing a power plant. While awaiting trial, Mexican authorities said he escaped from jail and killed two police officers before entering the United States illegally. His wife and three children later joined him.

"I'm sure he was fairly confident that he was all right," Hershey said. "It'd been a few years since the warrants were issued."

Hershey said it is not immediately known whether he has committed any crimes while in the United States. His wife and children, also in the country illegally, have been turned over to immigration officials.

His warrants out of Mexico for armed robbery, homicide and escape were issued in 2005, Hershey said.

David Gonzales, the U.S. marshal in Phoenix, said, "This is a classic example where law enforcement needs to be vigilant in tracking down career criminals and dangerous fugitives not only out of our state, but other states and other countries."
