Fugitive Wanted in the Abduction, Slaying of a Dallas Restaurateur Caught in Mexico

DALLAS - The nine-month search for a man wanted in the abduction and slaying of a Dallas restaurateur ended with an arrest in a Mexican resort town Friday.

Mexican federal authorities captured Edgar "Richie" Acevedo in Cabo San Lucas and were preparing to take the 25-year-old former waiter at an Oscar Sanchez family restaurant to Mexico City, Dallas police said.

FBI Special Agent Lori Bailey confirmed the arrest, but would not discuss details.

Sanchez was kidnapped the morning of Jan. 18 in what police believe was a staged car wreck in Dallas. His body was found in a field in southern Dallas about a week later.

Police say Jose Felix, a former teacher, was Acevedo's accomplice in the kidnapping and slaying.

In the weeks following the slaying, Felix was captured in Chicago. He was about to board a plane to Guadalajara, Mexico, where Acevedo had flown a day earlier. Felix's trial on capital murder charges is set for Jan. 30.

Bailey said Acevedos' arrest came as the result of a provisional warrant forwarded to Mexico from U.S. authorities for "unlawful fight to avoid prosecution."

"So the process will start to bring him back to Dallas to face murder charges," she told The Dallas Morning News in the newspaper's online editions Friday.

Mexican protection consul Luis Lara said that he didn't have information about Acevedo's arrest, but that an extradition process could be lengthy because Acevedo could make use of a legal resource protecting people from being extradited.

Lara said that the Mexican government doesn't extradite people who could face the death penalty in the United States.
