So outraged by the early release of a 60-year-old former drug lord from a Mexican prison, U.S. and Mexican authorities are scrambling to track down the man who brutally killed an American DEA agent, Fox News reports.
The U.S. has expressed outrage that a Mexican court would allow Rafael Caro Quintero to be released shortly after midnight on Aug. 9. He was convicted of killing DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.
The Mexican government planned to follow Quintero after his release but lost him after just 20 minutes, Fox News reported.
The release also threatens to damage relations between the two countries, according to Fox News.
