The fugitive apprehension occurred on Thursday, Jan. 30 at the Gateway to the Americas Bridge when Eulises Moreno Molina, a 20-year-old male United States citizen who resides in Houston, applied for entry as a pedestrian.  The male subject was detained and subsequent biometric verification through law enforcement databases, including the National Crime Information Center, confirmed that the subject had an outstanding warrant for homicide out of Walker County.

CBP officers confirmed the identity of the subject and he was transported to the Webb County Jail in Laredo, Texas for extradition.
