George Delaunay will never forget the suspect’s face.

Holding a picture of the suspect, Delaunay followed the man through aisles at a grocery store in San Antonio in 1989, the Valley Morning Star writes.

Delaunay realized he had his man – Rubén Zuno Arce, a suspect in the Feb. 7, 1985, kidnapping, torture and murder of DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena in Guadalajara, Mexico.

“When he left the store and got close to a van he had arrived in, we approached him and detained him,” Delaunay said.

Arce was convicted in the kidnapping and died last year in federal prison in Florida.

“Coming to the U.S. was probably the biggest mistake of his life,” Delaunay told the Valley Morning Star.
