RCMP have flown a Mexican man back to Canada. He's wanted in connection to a 2010 murder in a quiet hamlet, 15 km north of Lethbridge.
Luis Alfonso Ochoa-Gamez, 29, of Cuauhtemoc, Mexico was returned to Canada to face a charge of second degree murder in the shooting death of 24-year-old Mauro Hernandez-Renteria, also of Mexico.
Ochoa-Gamez fled Canada following the murder of Hernandez-Renteria in the hamlet of Shaugnessy.
A surrender warrant was issued by the US State Department, and Ochoa-Gamez was arrested while trying to access Mexico from a New Mexico border crossing.
Ochoa-Gamez was being detained at a US Detention Facility, before he was flown to Calgary on an RCMP aircraft. He will face a judicial hearing on Wednesday.
It is believed the murder was the result of a drug dispute.
