一名美国逃犯在被列入美国联邦调查局(FBI)”十大通缉犯”名单后刚刚超过一个小时就在墨西哥被捕,这成为该名单历史上最快的逮捕时间,打破了55年前创下的纪录。
美国司法部在新闻稿中称,33岁的小塞缪尔·拉米雷斯(Samuel Ramirez Jr.)涉嫌于2023年5月21日在华盛顿州联邦大道一家酒吧杀害两名女性,另有一人在事件中受伤。联邦大道警察局局长安迪·黄(Andy Hwang)将受害者确认为杰西卡·霍恩(Jessyca Hohn)和凯蒂·邓克(Katie Duhnke)。
针对他的犯罪指控已签发逮捕令,但据信拉米雷斯在杀人后逃离了该国。美国司法部表示,2025年11月,他被指控非法潜逃以逃避起诉,并签发了联邦逮捕令。2025年12月10日,FBI宣布悬赏最高2.5万美元以逮捕并定罪他。
周二,FBI将悬赏金额提高到最高100万美元。就在当天,他被列入了”十大通缉犯”名单。
仅仅1小时13分钟后,拉米雷斯在墨西哥锡那罗亚州库利亚坎(Culiacán)被顺利抓获,未发生任何意外。FBI将其逮捕归功于驻墨西哥城的法律联络官办公室、美国司法部华盛顿西区检察官办公室以及墨西哥当局。
此前的最短逮捕记录是在1969年,一名男子在被列入名单后两小时被捕。
美国司法部称,拉米雷斯已被从墨西哥驱逐回美国,并于周三晚上返回华盛顿。他将被关押在华盛顿州金县监狱,大约两周后将在法庭上首次出庭受审。
墨西哥政府在一份声明中证实了拉米雷斯被捕的细节,并重申其”致力于与国际当局协调合作,拘留在其他国家被通缉的人员”。
拉米雷斯被捕之际,距离前奥运会单板滑雪运动员瑞安·韦丁(Ryan Wedding)——同样在FBI通缉名单上——在墨西哥被捕仅过去几周。韦丁逃亡一年多后,于1月对17项重罪指控拒不认罪,这些指控称他经营一个墨西哥贩毒集团。
U.S. fugitive captured in Mexico 73 minutes after being added to FBI’s most wanted list, fastest arrest in history

A U.S. fugitive was captured in Mexico just over an hour after being added to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, making it the fastest arrest time in the history of the list and breaking a record set over 55 years ago.
Samuel Ramirez Jr., 33, was wanted for his alleged involvement in the murders of two women on May 21, 2023, at a bar in Federal Way, Washington, the Justice Department said in a news release. A third person was also injured in the incident. Federal Way Police Chief Andy Hwang identified the victims as Jessyca Hohn and Katie Duhnke.
An arrest warrant was issued charging him with the crimes, but Ramirez was believed to have fled the country after the killings. In November 2025, he was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution and a federal arrest warrant was issued, the Justice Department said. On December 10, 2025, the FBI announced a reward of up to $25,000 for his arrest and conviction.
The FBI increased the award amount to up to $1 million on Tuesday. He was added to the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List that same day.
Just an hour and 13 minutes later, Ramirez was captured without incident in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico. The FBI credited its Legal Attaché office in Mexico City, the U.S. Attorney’s Office Western District of Washington, and Mexican authorities with his apprehension.
The previous record for the shortest arrest time in 1969, when a man was arrested two hours after being added to the list.
Ramirez was deported from Mexico to the U.S. and returned to Washington on Wednesday night, the Justice Department said. He will be booked into jail in King County, Washington. He will next appear in court for his arraignment, in about two weeks, the Justice Department said.
In a statement, Mexico’s government confimed the details of Ramirez’s arrest and reaffirmed its “commitment to work in a coordinated manner with international authorities to detain individuals wanted in other countries.”
Ramirez’s capture comes just weeks after former Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding, who was also on the FBI’s most wanted list, was arrested in Mexico. Wedding, who was on the run for over a year, pleaded not guilty in January to 17 felony charges alleging that he operated a Mexican drug cartel.
