December 19, 2002 D.C. Homicide Suspect Caught by Border Patrol Douglas, Ariz. - A Mexican national wanted for murder in Washington, D.C., was apprehended by United States Border Patrol agents last night after he attempted to enter the country illegally near Douglas, Arizona. It was determined that the subject was wanted on an outstanding murder warrant in the Nation’s capital. Jorge Luis Naverette-Camacho is currently in the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending extradition to Washington. When the 24-year-old suspect was apprehended for illegal entry, he gave Border Patrol agents a fraudulent name and date of birth. However, a computerized record check revealed his true identity and the fact that he was wanted for a 1998 murder in the District. The technology, INS’ Automated Biometric Identification System known as IDENT, is designed to provide a rapid identification of individuals by electronically comparing a live-scanned fingerprint against a previously digitally captured or scanned fingerprint. The right and left index fingerprints are scanned and transmitted electronically to a centralized biometric database for query. The IDENT records are divided into two categories: persons who are aggravated felons, suspected narcotics or alien smugglers, national security risks or otherwise thought to be a risk to the officer; and INS encounters including previously intercepted or removed persons from the country for lesser violations. After verifying extradition information with authorities in Washington D.C., the individual was turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. No further information. -INS- |
