7-YEAR MANHUNT FOR HOMICIDE SUSPECT OVER

WILMINGTON, DE – The Delaware State Police and United States Marshals announce the arrest of a suspect wanted on a two-count indictment charging him with murder and possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony. 

Miguel H. Aramiz was arrested Wednesday in Tenancingo, Mexico, by agents from the Policia Federal Ministerial, based upon the issuance of a Provisional Arrest Warrant which seeks his extradition to the United States. 

Aramiz, 34, had been sought since March 2006 for his alleged involvement in the beating death of another man at a crowded carnival in the Canby Park Shopping Center. Aramiz was indicted on charges that he and others chased the victim through a crowded carnival and then beat the victim with a baseball bat in open view of carnival patrons. 

During the seven-year manhunt, leads were developed and investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Delaware State Police. Aramiz had also been featured in a gang segment of “America’s Most Wanted” in early spring 2010. 

“The arrest of Aramiz is a result of the coordinated investigative efforts of the U.S. Marshals and Delaware Troopers.” said Sergeant Paul G. Shavack, Director of Public Information for the Delaware State Police, “These cooperative efforts ensure that fugitives who choose to leave Delaware and United States to avoid prosecution, will be located and brought to justice.”
