Mexico Extradites Barrio Azteca Gang Leader and One Other to the U.S. for the 2010 U.S. Consulate Murders in Juarez

On February 20, 2025, Mexico extradited two alleged members of the Barrio Azteca (BA), a transnational criminal organization, associated with the Juarez Cartel, to face criminal charges concerning the March 2010 murders of U.S. Consulate employees in Juarez, Mexico. Eduardo Ravelo, also known as Tablas, Tablero, and T-Blas, and Enrique Guajardo Lopez, also known as Kiki, made their initial appearances on February 24 in the Western District of Texas. In March 2011, U.S. law enforcement unsealed a 12-count third superseding indictment[1] against both defendants. Ravelo is a former FBI Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitive.[2]
