Authorities say a man on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list has been captured on the border with Mexico. He was wanted in the death of his pregnant girlfriend.
Bureau spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said in a news release Monday that border agents took Philip Patrick Policarpio into custody at a San Diego port of entry Sunday as he crossed into the U.S. from Tijuana.
Policarpio is accused of fleeing Los Angeles after shooting and killing his live-in girlfriend, Lauren Olguin, in April. The FBI says they got into an argument at a friend's home. He was on parole for a 2001 conviction for assault with a firearm and other violations.
Authorities had added Policarpio to the most-wanted list earlier this month. No other information was immediately released.
