Authorities arrest U.S. citizen in femicide of Tijuana sex worker [Breaking]
Federal law enforcement agents in the U.S. have arrested a Los Angeles County man wanted by Mexican authorities in connection with the slayings of at least three Tijuana sex workers, according to officials in both countries.
Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles filed the complaint against Rivera under seal late last month. It sought Rivera’s “provisional arrest with a view toward extradition,” stating that the Mexican government, through diplomatic channels, requested Rivera’s arrest. The mother told investigators that Acosta texted her at 10:12 p.m. that night informing her that she was about to spend 30 minutes with a client, according to the complaint. She told her the name of the hotel, which is attached to the strip club, and the room number where she’d be. But when the half-hour passed, Acosta’s mother couldn’t reach her.
Thirteen minutes after leaving the hotel, video surveillance from the San Ysidro Port of Entry showed Rivera walking into the U.S., according to the complaint. A third victim was 25 years old and also worked at Hong Kong, according to Zeta. She was found three days after Valentine’s Day 2022, strangled to death, her naked and bludgeoned body discovered inside her SUV.
