On March 10, 2026, with the help of Mexican law enforcement, the United States (U.S.) government was able to capture Samuel Ramirez Jr., 33, of Federal Way, Washington, in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico.  The capture occurred only one hour and thirteen minutes after the FBI announced the 538 additions to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitive List and raised the reward for information leading to his capture from $250,000 to $1 million.
