Key Details
Alejandro Rosales Castillo, 27, an individual on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list, was arrested in Mexico on Friday. He is wanted in connection with the 2016 killing of Truc Quan "Sandy" Ly Le in North Carolina.

Case Background
In 2016, Truc Quan "Sandy" Ly Le, 23, who had worked with Castillo at a North Carolina restaurant, was found deceased. Her vehicle was located in Phoenix, Arizona, and her body was discovered in a wooded area in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, with a gunshot wound to her head.
Castillo, identified as a U.S. citizen, was added to the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list in 2017. The case was featured on a true crime television program in 2020.
Another individual involved in the case, Ahmia Feaster, fled to Mexico and surrendered to authorities in Aguas Calientes in October 2017.
