He was heading to work at a Keys resort. He’s been wanted for murder in Mexico since 2004
A Homestead man’s past caught up with him Thursday morning when he reported for work at a high-end — and high-security — resort in the Florida Keys.
Edgar Omar Delgado Munoz, 42, was going to work at Ocean Reef in northern Key Largo around 9 a.m. — but he did not have a pass to get onto the property, so security stopped him at the gate, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
It’s not immediately clear what type of job he was doing, but work crews are in and out of the gated community all day.
Monroe sheriff’s deputies arrived and ran his name through a database and found he was wanted by Interpol in connection with a shooting death in Coahuila, Mexico, in 2004.
Deputies called the U.S. Border Patrol, and agents took him into custody, said Adam Linhardt, sheriff’s office spokesman.
Munoz is the second person this week arrested in the Keys who was wanted by authorities outside of the United States.
On Saturday, deputies arrested Catalin Aionesi Lupu, 51, squatting with another man in a home in Sugarloaf Key, in the Lower Keys.
They discovered he was wanted by Interpol, the international law enforcement agency, and officials in Romania on sex trafficking charges, according to sheriff’s office reports.
