Murder Suspect Antonio Riano Arrested in Mexico
News summary

Antonio Riano, a fugitive on Ohio's 'Most Wanted' list for nearly 20 years, was arrested on August 1, 2024, while working as a police officer in his hometown of Zapotitlán Palmas, Oaxaca, Mexico. He is accused of the December 2004 murder of Benjamin Becarra, who was shot outside the Roundhouse Bar in Hamilton, Ohio, following an altercation. Riano, 72, had evaded capture since a warrant was issued for his arrest in 2006, despite being featured on the TV show 'America's Most Wanted'. His arrest was made possible through collaboration between U.S. Marshals and Mexican authorities, utilizing social media to track him down. Riano is currently held without bond at Butler County Jail, facing two murder charges and one count of felony assault, with court proceedings pending. He is scheduled to return to court later this month.
