Fugitive husband suspected to be in Tijuana
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2009/dec/22/fugitive-soug...
By Karen Kucher
December 22, 2009
SAN DIEGO – Law enforcement officers believe a man wanted for killing his 28-year-old pregnant estranged wife is hiding out in Tijuana and have filed
a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution against him.
The U.S. Marshals Service is offering up to a $5,000 reward for information leading to the capture of Jesus Alejandro “Alex” Arteaga. He is being
sought in connection with the Dec. 11 fatal stabbing of Maribel Arteaga, a rookie U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer.
Witnesses told police that Arteaga knocked on the door of his estranged wife’s Chula Vista apartment that morning and when she opened the door, he
stabbed her with a long-blade hunting knife or fishing knife.
Arteaga, who had two young children, was two months pregnant.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Omar Castillo said it is believed that Arteaga is hiding out in the Sanchez Taboada neighborhood of Tijuana and possibly driving a
blue or white van with Baja plate BCW-66-27.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the U.S. Marshals Service at (877) 926-8332 or (877) WANTED2. Spanish speakers should call
(619) 454-9011.

He needs to be eating crappy jail food right now or providing food for the worms not free out here with the rest of us. I only hope he is suffering
some agonizing pain out there somewhere.

Reward Offered in Murder of Pregnant Customs Agent
http://www.sandiego6.com/news/local/story/Reward-Offered-in-...
Jan/21
SAN DIEGO - Authorities announced an $8,500 reward Thursday for information leading to the capture of a fugitive wanted on suspicion of murdering his
pregnant estranged wife two weeks before Christmas.
Jesus "Alex" Arteaga Garcia, 28, allegedly knocked at U.S. Customs agent Maribel Arteaga's front door on the evening of Dec. 10 and attacked her with
a long-bladed utility knife when she answered.
The 28-year-old victim was two months pregnant when she was mortally wounded at her apartment on Santa Alicia Avenue in Chula Vista, according to
police.
The couple's sons, ages 4 and 6, were home at the time, as was the victim's live-in boyfriend, though he was in another room.
Jesus Arteaga's gray Ford Ranger pickup truck was found abandoned in Tijuana the next day. The suspect, who filed for divorce from the victim in
November, grew up in the northern Baja California city.
His wife of eight years had worked as a Customs officer for about seven months.
San Diego County Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of the suspect. Cox Communications and the U.S.
Marshals Service have put up $2,500 and $5,000, respectively.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to call (888) 580-8477. Tipsters may remain anonymous.

Slain border agent’s sons are given college bonds
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jun/19/slain-border-...
By Tanya Sierra
June 19, 2010
TECATE — The Marine Law Enforcement Foundation last week presented college bonds to the sons of slain U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer
Maribel Arteaga, who was pregnant when she was stabbed to death in December.
No arrests have been made in Arteaga’s slaying and police are still searching for leads to the whereabouts of her estranged husband, Jesus Arteaga
Garcia, who is a suspect. Authorities believe Garcia may be in the Sanchez Taboada neighborhood of Tijuana. He has a tattoo of a tiger on his right
arm.
Arteaga, who began her career with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection in May 2009, was a Chula Vista resident.
The college bonds will be worth $30,000 upon their maturity. They were presented to Arteaga’s two sons at the Tecate port of entry, where Arteaga had
been assigned.

Arrest made in murder of pregnant border agent
http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/kswb-arteaga-arrest-rosarit...
Suspect's family says, 'she got what she deserved'
By John Langeler
January 29, 2011
SAN DIEGO -- The estranged husband of a pregnant border patrol agent, who was stabbed to death in front of her two sons, was arrested in Mexico,
officers announced Friday.
"He was living out in the open," said Steve Jurman with the U.S. Marshals service, "He thought he was scott free just because he was across the
border."
Jurman said Arteaga was hiding with his family in Tijuana. "We recieved information that the family made statements to the effect of, 'Maribel got
what she deserved,'" Jurman said.
Jurman added that Arteaga has an uncle that was an officer with Tijuana Police, and he quit immediately after Maribel's death.
Authorities believe Arteaga went deep into Mexico after the murder, before resurfacing. Arteaga has told Mexican Federal Police he went to Las Vegas
for several months before crossing the border, although American authorities don't believe that.
U.S. Marshals recieved a tip three days ago that led to Friday's arrest.

Only problem now is that Mexico will not extradite him unless authorities in the states promise not to pursue the death penalty against this "pilar of
society".

Breaking point?
Sorry folks.....
Breaking point? Over the edge? Insanely out of control?
I dont think so. It's called rage. I believe we all know at any point of ourselves during a fight / argument / whatever.........not to mane or kill.
With no tears......deliver the killer(s) to hell .
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Man extradited from Mexico in death of estranged wife
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/jul/27/man-accused-o...
by Susan Shroder
July 27, 2011
A man accused in the stabbing death of his estranged wife, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer, was extradited to Chula Vista Wednesday from
Mexico, Chula Vista police said.
Jesus Arteaga Garcia, 30, will be charged in the death of Maribel Arteaga, 28, and her unborn child. She was two months pregnant when she was fatally
stabbed on Dec. 9, 2009, at her Chula Vista apartment in front of the couple’s two sons, who were ages 4 and 6 at the time.
Chula Vista police investigated and obtained an arrest warrant for Arteaga, who was believed at the time to have fled to Mexico to avoid prosecution.
On Jan. 28, Mexican federal authorities, working with deputies from the U.S. Marshals Service, arrested Arteaga in Tijuana near his sister’s
apartment. He was being held in Mexico City before extradition.
On Wednesday, U.S. Marshals Service deputies transported him to San Diego and released him to the custody of Chula Vista police investigators. He will
face two counts of murder, two counts of child abuse, and a special circumstances allegation for committing more than one murder. He was being held in
county jail on a no-bail warrant.
At the time of the arrest, Deputy U.S. Marshal Steve Jurman said that Arteaga was receiving assistance in Tijuana from his sister and his parents, who
also live there.
Maribel Arteaga worked as a customs officer at the Tecate Port of Entry.
Her estranged husband had come to her apartment, and the two had argued about the visitation of their children, authorities said. She was stabbed in
the back with a long-blade knife and died at a hospital. Before she died, she identified her estranged husband as the assailant.
Chula Vista Police Chief David Bejarano called the extradition “another important step in bringing justice to Maribel’s family.”
Jurman said earlier that relatives in Tijuana were apparently sympathetic to Jesus Arteaga, and that during interviews with authorities, they said
that “Maribel got what she deserved.”

So...I guess this dirtbag won't be getting the death penalty since Mexico doesn't extradite if capital punishment is an option, or does that moral
high ground only apply when Mexican nationals are involved?

wow...what a horrid story. had it all taken place in Mexico, I doubt very much that he would have been around to get caught by any police dept....
I also think that many people fight over custody of kids when it really should be easier to agree upon and really should be in the presence of a
neutral party and oddest of all - HE is the one who filed for divorce.

Accused customs agent killer to be arraigned Friday
http://www.kusi.com/story/15174246/accused
Jul 29, 2011
CHULA VISTA (CNS) - A man accused of fatally stabbing his pregnant wife - - a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent -- in front of her 4- and
6-year- old children at her Chula Vista apartment is scheduled to be arraigned Friday at the South Bay Courthouse.
Jesus Arteaga Garcia, 30, was extradited from Mexico to San Diego Wednesday in connection with the Dec. 9, 2009, death of his estranged wife, Maribel
Arteaga, 28, who worked at the Tecate Port of Entry and was two months pregnant.
She identified her estranged husband as the assailant just before she died and authorities believe the defendant fled to Mexico to avoid prosecution,
police said.
Arteaga Garcia was sheltered by his sister and parents in Northern Baja California since the murder of his wife, according to Deputy U.S. Marshal
Steve Jurman.
The defendant was arrested Jan. 28 in Tijuana by Mexican federal authorities and deputies from the U.S. Marshals Service and held in custody in Mexico
City to await extradition.
The San Diego County District Attorney's Office filed a request for extradition from Mexico through the U.S. state and justice departments, police
said. Arteaga Garcia consented to extradition to the United States on March 31.
Arteaga Garcia faces two counts of murder, including the fetus, two counts of child abuse and a special circumstances allegation for committing more
than one murder, police said. He was being held without bail pending arraignment.

CHULA VISTA (CNS) - A man extradited from Mexico to face charges that he fatally stabbed his pregnant estranged wife -- a U.S. Customs and Border
Protection agent -- in front of her 4- and 6-year-old children in Chula Vista pleaded not guilty Friday to murder and child abuse counts.
Jesus Arteaga Garcia, 29, was ordered held without bail by South Bay Judge Garry Haehnle, who set an Aug. 31 preliminary hearing date.
The defendant, who is charged in the Dec. 9, 2009, slaying of Maribel Arteaga, was extradited to the United States on Wednesday. He was arrested in
Tijuana on Jan. 28.
Arteaga Garcia faces a maximum of life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted of two counts of murder -- one for his estranged wife
and one for the unborn fetus -- and two counts of felony child abuse, with special circumstance allegations of lying in wait and multiple murders.
In order to ensure the defendant's extradition, authorities in the United States had to agree not to seek the death penalty, said Deputy District
Attorney Enrique Camarena.
The prosecutor told reporters that the defendant and the 28-year-old victim were separated at the time of her death, and he had filed for divorce. The
victim worked at the Tecate Port of Entry.
Arteaga Garcia showed up unannounced at his estranged wife's apartment the day of the murder and allegedly stabbed her during an argument after she
opened the door, Camarena said.
Maribel Arteaga -- who was two months pregnant -- identified her estranged husband as the assailant before she died and witnesses told authorities
that he frequented Mexico and had family there, the prosecutor said.
Arteaga Garcia was sheltered by his sister and parents in Northern Baja California until his arrest six months ago, authorities said.
