During his remarks, Patel confirmed the arrest and extradition of another man who had been on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list.
He only gives his last name – Castillo – and appears to be referencing fugitive Alejandro Castillo, who is now labeled as “captured” on the FBI’s list.
Castillo is wanted for the murder of his former girlfriend in 2016, Truc Quan “Sandy” Ly Le, who he met when they were both working in a North Carolina restaurant.
The FBI says he owed the victim around $1,000 at the time of the murder.
Castillo, who was 17-years-old at the time of the killing, crossed into Mexico two months later. Officials said he was to be considered “armed and extremely dangerous” and had offered a $250,000 award for information leading to his capture.
In a news release from last week, the FBI announced that Castillo had been captured in Hidalgo, Mexico, and would be extradited to North Carolina.
