DOWNEY, Calif. — A California man has been arrested in connection with serial murders targeting strip club workers in Mexico.
U.S. Marshals and the FBI on Thursday arrested 30-year-old Bryant Rivera, a U.S. citizen who lives in Downey, outside of Los Angeles, in connection with the case, a federal complaint shows.
A federal complaint filed on June 29 for his provisional arrest alleged that Downey brought a sex worker back to his Tijuana hotel room on Jan. 24, 2022. The woman was found dead from strangulation the following day, according to the complaint. Mexico has 60 days to file its official extradition request, which it has not done yet, according to federal prosecutors. The complaint stated that Mexico intends to submit a formal request for extradition within the time required.
Rivera has been charged in Mexico with the crime of femicide -- a form of gender-based violence -- in connection with the January 2022 incident and a warrant for his arrest was issued out of Baja California in November 2022, according to the complaint.
