Texas school employee wanted for murder is captured in Mexico after 7 years on the run, authorities say

A former Texas school district employee accused of killing his boss nearly eight years ago is facing murder charges after he was captured in Mexico and returned to the U.S. on Tuesday, authorities say.

He fled to Mexico after the shooting, authorities said. For the past seven years, detectives worked with the U.S. Marshals Joint East Texas Fugitive Task Force and Mexican authorities to find and take him into custody, according to a news release by Carrollton police.  "This arrest was the result of dogged determination and great police work by all involved," Carrollton police Chief Derick Miller said. "The partnership of The U.S. Marshals, our own detective assigned to their fugitive task force, as well as the authorities in Mexico will finally allow the family of Todd Fenton some measure of peace."
