A suspect has been arrested in the killings of three people connected to the U. S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexican officials have said.

According to the reports of CNN, military spokesman Enrique Torres said, "The only thing that I can say is we can confirm someone was arrested. The attorney general will give more details soon."

Torres also said that the as yet unidentified suspect was arrested by the military Friday. CNN further reported that he was described as being 42 years old and a member of the Aztecas, a local street gang linked to the Juarez drug cartel.

"The Chihuahua state attorney general is telling us that this guy is implicated in the killings of Arthur Redelfs and his pregnant wife, Lesley (Enriquez)," Police spokesman Jacinto Seguro said.

El Diario also reported that the suspect was captured with help from the FBI but the FBI in El Paso, Texas, had no comment.

The three victims had been at a children's party in Juarez earlier this month. Their vehicles were targeted in separate attacks in drive-by shootings.

CNN further informed that Enriquez, an employee of the consulate in Juarez, was 4-months pregnant; Redelfs, her U. S. citizen husband, was a jailer in El Paso. The couple's 10-month-old girl, also in the vehicle, was not injured.

At about the same time, gunmen elsewhere in Juarez killed Jorge Alberto Salcido Ceniceros, 37, the husband of a Mexican woman who works at the consulate. His wife was not in the car, but two of their children were wounded.
