MULTIPLE VIOLENT FUGITIVES WANTED BY FBI AND AUTHORITIES IN SAN BERNARDINO AND CHICAGO RETURNED TO U.S. Three fugitives wanted from the San Bernardino and Chicago areas were returned to the United States today from Mexico City based on federal warrants charging each with Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution (UFAP). The fugitives were flown under FBI escort from Mexico City to Los Angeles International Airport, and were then transported to the jurisdiction in which they were charged. Hector Miguel Aguirre, 23, was returned today after spending more than two years in a Mexico City prison. In March 2002, Aguirre was charged by authorities in San Bernardino, California, Superior Court with the December 2001 carjacking and murder of Hannah Jordan, a 54 year old female. Jordan was buying donuts for a local civic function and had just returned to her vehicle, according to investigators with the San Bernardino Police Department, a member of the FBI's Inland Regional Apprehension Team (IRAT). Investigators allege Aguirre fatally wounded Jordan with a firearm, pulled her from her car, and left her to die. Once investigators determined Aguirre had fled to Mexico, a federal flight warrant (UFAP) was issued on 5/16/2003. Aguirre was arrested in Mexico City on January 20, 2004. Additionally, two subjects of federal arrest warrants issued in Chicago were returned this afternoon to the United States. Roberto Ramirez Vasquez, 26, wanted on state charges of murder in Chicago, and Farhad Hakimi, 50, wanted in connection with narcotics violations in Chicago, were returned from Mexico City today on a flight to Los Angeles. Vasquez and Hakimi were then flown under escort to Chicago where they will be turned over to state authorities. The successful return of these fugitives is a result of a joint effort by Mexican law enforcement authorities, Officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the FBI in Los Angeles and Chicago, as well Agents with the FBI's Legal Attache in Mexico City.
