Mexican federal police arrested another person in connection to the death of U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement agent Jaime Zapata earlier today.
Authorities arrested 30-year-old José Manuel Garcia-Soto, aka "El Safado" inside a drop house belonging to the Zetas drug cartel in San Luis Potosí.
Inside the house, officers also found one person who was allegedly kidnapped by the Garcia Soto in exchange for a sizeable ransom.
Gacia-Soto admitted that he participated in the attack against Zapata and agent Victor Avila.
He sold and distributed drugs and weapons for the Zetas, and was also a hit man for the drug cartel.
The information he gave police following his arrest led officers to another drop house with three other kidnapped people.
Five other Zetas members were also arrested.
