Henry Chavez, a 3-foot-11-inch man wanted by Montgomery County police since May as a suspect in a fatal shooting, was recently found in El Salvador, U.S. Marshals said Thursday.
Chavez was flown on Wednesday to Houston in the custody of officials from the U.S. State Department and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Alfredo Perez, a deputy U.S. marshal in Houston.
Marshals met Chavez at the airport.
"Just glad to be back," Chavez said, according to Perez.
Perez didn't know the details of how Chavez was found in El Salvador. He said in many cases like this, a U.S. suspect who flees to another country is kicked out of that country for being there illegally. Chavez is a U.S. citizen, Perez said.
Chavez is awaiting extradition to Montgomery County, Perez said. He is accused of shooting Hamington Luis Ravanales Orozco, 27, in May.
