A California man was arrested and charged this week in connection with a spree of serial murders targeting Mexican sex workers, prosecutors say.
Bryant Rivera, 30, was arrested on Thursday in Los Angeles by U.S. Marshals and the FBI, according to a federal complaint obtained by The Daily Beast. The arrest comes at the request of Baja California’s Attorney General, who said Friday that Rivera is facing arrest warrants in connection with three “femicides” in Tijuana between September 2021 and February 2022.
Rivera “is considered a serial killer…[and]will now face justice in Baja California,” Baja California Attorney General Ricardo Iván Carpio Sánchez said in a Facebook statement. Previously, Sánchez said that investigators believed the suspect was similar to notorious serial killer Ted Bundy.
