SAN DIEGO -- Police in Tijuana, Mexico, said Monday that officers arrested a man suspected of killing a U.S. Border Patrol agent near San Diego, nearly one year after another person was sentenced to prison for his role in the ambush.
Marcos Manuel Rodriguez Perez, 26, was taken into custody as he was driving through Tijuana Monday morning, aided by information provided by the FBI, said Adrian Hernandez, director of Tijuana's police. Mexico's federal attorney general's office had issued an arrest warrant for the Tijuana native on suspicion of killing Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas, who died in during an attempted robbery in the mountains east of San Diego in July 2009.
FBI spokesman Darrell Foxworth declined to comment on the arrest but said the agency is expected to say something about the investigation "in the very near future."
Rosas, 30, was shot eight times in the head, neck and torso while on solo patrol in a rugged, remote mountainous area near Campo, about 60 miles east of San Diego. He was lured from his car during the robbery attempt and shot from behind.
His body was found with his wallet less than 100 yards from the border. His vehicle was nearby with the engine running and headlights on.
Christian Daniel Castro Alvarez, who was 16 at the time of the killing, pleaded guilty to murder in San Diego for his role in the killing and was sentenced last April to 40 years in prison. His attorney, Ezekiel Cortez, said before sentencing that two collaborators were in Mexico.
No other arrests or criminal charges have been announced.

Mexican officials actually made an arrest in an event like this?

Now I think I will see a tree that grows gold leaves, or that fella with the banner claiming the rapture is May 11, 2011 may be on to something....

Another Mexican National Sentenced for Murdering U.S. Border Patrol Agent

December 29, 2013

The family and loved ones of murdered U.S. Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas, Jr. received a little more justice this holiday season as a third Mexican national was sentenced to U.S. prison for the heinous murder of the agent.

The case involved several Mexican nationals who either acted as a lookout or illegally crossed the porous U.S./Mexico border for the purposes of luring, trapping, and ultimately murdering a U.S. Border Patrol agent for the purpose of stealing his government-issued night-vision goggles.

One of the murderers was an illegal alien who U.S. authorities caught smuggling human beings into the U.S. Breitbart News broke the story that the U.S. Attorney's Office was lenient with the illegal alien and released him on "supervised release." The illegal alien committed the murder of Border Patrol Agent Rosas while he was on "supervised release," a fact U.S. authorities seem to keep quiet.

Jose Luis Ramirez-Dorantes will remain in U.S. prison for 55 years and will be released at the approximate age of 100-years-old for his role in the 2009 crime. He was one of five armed Mexican nationals who sneaked into the U.S. or otherwise helped lure, trap, and kill Border Patrol Agent Rosas. The Border Patrol agent was alone, but reportedly fought back against the five armed attackers.

It remains unclear whether Border Patrol Agent Rosas would be alive today had U.S. authorities not let one of the murders walk free for trafficking human beings just prior to Rosas’ murder.

U.S. authorities previously claimed four Mexican nationals were part of the murder, now it is revealed there were five with one still being a wanted fugitive.

The National Border Patrol Council Vice President Shawn Moran spoke previously with Breitbart News on this case and stated: "Robert Rosas is what every Border Patrol agent should aspire to be. A hard worker, a loving husband, and devoted father." He added: "He served the nation he loved and fought with tenacity until his final moment. He serves now as a Border Patrol legend and will never be forgotten by his brothers and sisters in green."
