Luis Macedo: One of the 10 FBI's Most Wanted / Apprehended in Mexico

After eight years of evading justice, Chicago's Luis Macedo , who was on the FBI's list of 10 most wanted fugitives, is now in custody, announced Michael J. Anderson, a special agent in charge of the FBI's field office In Chicago.

Through a statement it was announced that Luis Macedo was apprehended on Saturday, August 26, 2017, without major incident in Guadalajara, Jalisco, by Mexican immigration agents in that state in close coordination with the FBI aggregate from the United States Embassy in Mexico City.

Macedo was placed on the list of the 10 most wanted fugitives in May 2016. Macedo is in FBI custody and will be turned over to local authorities upon arrival in Chicago.

Macedo's last known address was Oak Lawn, Illinois. Macedo, 29, is wanted for the murder on May 1, 2009 of 15-year-old Alex Arellano, who was brutally beaten, shot and then set on fire by alleged members of the Latin Kings street gang. 15 year old Alex refused to throw up the Latin King crown upon demand.

On July 21, 2009 Macedo was indicted on a first-degree murder charge at the Cook County Circuit Court. A federal arrest warrant for evasion of justice was issued on May 27, 2010 in federal court in Chicago.

"The heinous and violent acts committed by Luis Macedo and his bad decision to evade justice are the reasons for which the FBI established the list of ten most wanted," said FBI special agent in Chicago Michael J. Anderson. "The FBI will continue to devote all the resources necessary to bring dangerous individuals to justice."

Macedo's quest was coordinated with the FBI's violent crime task force in Chicago, made up of special FBI agents, Chicago police detectives, and investigators from the Cook County Sheriff's Office.
