Murder suspect captured by CBP officers.

-

On Wednesday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Calexico downtown port of entry took a 21-year-old fugitive into custody who was wanted on felony charges for the murder of a 16-year-old girl.

The incident occurred at about 6:20 p.m. when Angel Delgado, a U.S. citizen and resident of Fontana, was escorted on foot to the downtown port by Mexican law enforcemen­t officials, stated a U.S. Customs and Border Protection press release.

CBP officers working the port’s pedestrian facility took custody of the man and conducted a query of the man’s fingerprin­ts utilizing the Integrated Automated Fingerprin­t Identifica­tion System confirming his identity, which revealed that he was the subject of a felony warrant issued by the Superior Court of California-County of San Bernardino.

After the warrant was confirmed, the man was turned over to the custody of San Bernardino Police Department detectives and transporte­d to the San Bernardino County Jail, stated the press release.

Agents with the state Preventive Police department arrested Angel Delgado, 21, at Roberto Montenegro Street at Fraccionam­iento Los Alamos neighborho­od.

Internatio­nal Liaison Rodolfo Luna said the Marshals Service provided informatio­n regarding Delgado’s whereabout­s.

The suspect had an active arrest warrant out of San Bernardino for the 2012 homicide of a 16-year-old girl in Fontana. Delgado presumably shot a family that was holding a party in a park. Luna said the attack was gang related.
