A suspect in a fatal December 2021 shooting in Rio Grande City who fled to Mexico was arrested and indicted in connection with the homicide, according to Starr County District Attorney Gocha Allen Ramirez.

Ramirez announced the capture and indictment of Alfredo “El Diablo” Reyna in a Wednesday news release.

Reyna was one of two men wanted in connection with the Dec. 29, 2021 death of Sergio Sanchez, who police found unresponsive at a home on the 100 block of R. Corona Sr. Drive, according to a news release from the Rio Grande Police Department.
