SAN DIEGO — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the San Ysidro port of entry on Wednesday discovered a fugitive wanted by the Salinas Police Department in Calif., for the murder of a 14-year-old boy.

According to the Salinas Police Department, Zuniga is wanted in connection with an alleged gang affiliated murder of a 14-year-old boy in Salinas.

CBP officers turned over custody of Zuniga to the U.S. Marshals Service for booking into the Las Colinas Detention Facility.
