Honduran Murder Suspect Nabbed During Traffic Stop in New Jersey

A routine traffic stop in Eatontown has ended with the arrest of a foreign fugitive wanted for homicide. Fredy Alexander Lopez Lara was taken into custody by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Newark officers on April 20 after they pulled over a vehicle in which he was a passenger.

What began as a targeted enforcement action based on Lopez Lara’s illegal presence in the country quickly escalated when officers ran his information through international databases.

The system checks revealed that Lopez Lara is currently the subject of an active arrest warrant for murder in his home country of Honduras.
