Rafael Caro-Quintero, a Mexican fugitive drug lord wanted for the 1985 murder of DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, was captured by the Mexican Navy’s elite special forces on July 15, 2022.
The fugitive drug lord now faces extradition to the U.S. for the infamous torture and murder of the DEA agent.
Caro-Quintero, one of the founders of the brutal and powerful Guadalajara Cartel, kidnapped Camarena and tortured him horribly before finally murdering him. American officials claim Caro-Quintero was the mastermind behind Camarena’s murder.
