HIGHLIGHT ARREST
SEBASTIAN OBANDO
HOMICIDE CALIFORNIA
In November 1997, Sebastian Hernandez Obando,
26, and two of his relatives kidnapped a victim and attempted to force him
to sign over ownership of his land. After the victim refused, Obando
executed him. He then immediately fled to the United States. The fugitive
investigation resulted in the development of an alias used by Obando and the
identity of two possible locations for the suspect. Following surveillance
at the two locations, Operation FALCON members identified Obando in South
Gate, California and on April 7, 2005, took him into custody. Following his
arrest, Obando was processed and turned over to Mexican law enforcement
authorities at the United States border. |
