A man wanted for murder in Mexico was arrested Wednesday in South Carolina after being in the United States illegally.

Jorge Cruz-Antonio, 31, was arrested by the US marshals with the Interception Task Force in North Charleston, The Post and Courier reported.

Cruz-Antonio was reportedly wanted for murder and car theft in Mexicali, Baja California.

Authorities said that a hit on a Honda vehicle with a Virginia license plate associated with the suspect had led them into an apartment complex. The American marshals, along with other agencies, approached Cruz-Antonio, but he escaped on foot. He was caught shortly after.

Charleston County's online criminal records indicate that Cruz-Antonio is being held by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for illegal entry into the United States.
