A Mexican man who had been on the run for more than a decade before his arrest in his native country last year for allegedly killing his wife on their wedding night in Illinois has been returned to the United States, the FBI said Thursday.
Arnoldo Jimenez was brought back to the US more than a year after he was captured on Jan. 30, 2025, by Mexican authorities working with US law enforcement in Monterrey, Mexico.
Jimenez had been on the FBI’s Most Wanted list of fugitives.
At the time he was taken into custody, he was the fourth-most wanted fugitive in the US.
“Thursday marks an important milestone for [FBI Chicago] — our personnel have successfully brought back FBI Most Wanted fugitive Arnoldo Jimenez from Mexico,” the FBI said in a statement posted on X. “No matter how much time has passed or where a criminal may be in the world, the FBI will never stop in our pursuit of justice.”

Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the killing or a date for his first court appearance.
