A man accused of murdering a US Border Patrol agent in a case linked to the government's 'Fast and Furious' gun-running sting was extradited on Tuesday from Mexico to the United States.
Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes, who is charged with the murder of Agent Brian Terry, had been awaiting extradition for more than a year.
He will appear on Wednesday in Arizona federal court, the Justice Department said.
US prosecutors allege Osorio-Arellanes was part of a 'rip crew' seeking to rob drug dealers along the border that confronted Terry and three other Border Patrol agents in a shootout north of Nogales, Arizona, in 2010.
