Another fugitive has been arrested in connection with the murder of nine U.S. dual-national women and children killed in northern Mexico last November.

The attorney general's office in Ciudad Juarez announced the arrest of a 12th suspect. Authorities say he was the one responsible for ambushing the family as they drove in Sonora on Nov. 4, 2019.
