A Mexican man wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of a Border Patrol agent has been extradited to the U.S., Reuters reports.
Ivan Soto-Barraza is accused of killing Agent Brian Terry in 2010 during a gun battle near the Mexican border in Arizona.
Soto-Barraza and five others have been charged in the death. Two remain on the loose.
“This marks another step forward in our aggressive pursuit of those responsible for the murder of Agent Brian Terry, who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving his country,” said Attorney General Eric Holder in a statement.
The death of Terry drew outrage after it was discovered that one of the guns recovered at the scene was traced back to a botched trafficking probe by the ATF.
