Luis Bautista-Perez/Mexico/Aggravated Homicide

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested Mexican national Luis Bautista-Perez in Sterling, Virginia, based on an active arrest warrant issued by the Government of Mexico for aggravated homicide.

The warrant identifies him as a fugitive wanted in connection with a homicide case in Mexico, and ICE targeted him during a focused enforcement action in Northern Virginia.​

Agents located Bautista-Perez in the Sterling area and took him into custody without incident before initiating immigration and removal processing tied to the foreign homicide charges.

Public reporting does not describe any additional U.S. criminal convictions or provide details about the underlying Mexican case—such as incident date, weapon use, co-defendants, or case number—but officials state he will remain in ICE custody while removal proceedings move forward in coordination with Mexican authorities.
