U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the El Paso port of entry apprehended a man wanted in Reno County, Kansas. The man has been on the run for two decades on an aggravated vehicular homicide charge.

CBP officers at the Bridge of the Americas (BOTA) crossing nabbed 41-year-old Miguel Roberto Rangel Zubia of Chihuahua City, Chihuahua, Mexico as he entered the U.S. as a pedestrian on May 6. They were performing document checks and name queries on arriving individuals when they encountered him.

The officers used the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Index System to check the subject, which revealed a positive match for an outstanding aggravated vehicular homicide warrant from 1988 out of Reno County, Kansas. The warrant was confirmed and then they turned Zubia over to the El Paso Police Department.

"The IAFIS system gives CBP officers the ability to quickly identify individuals with outstanding criminal warrants by electronically comparing a live scanned fingerprint against a database of previously recorded prints," said Arthur Gonzales, U.S. Customs and Border Protection acting El Paso Port Director. "This technology has been responsible for the identification and apprehension of numerous fugitives in El Paso and other ports of entry nationwide."
