A man on the FBI’s most-wanted list for allegedly killing his pregnant girlfriend during a card game earlier this year was arrested Sunday at the Mexican border, the FBI said.
Philip Patrick Policarpio had been on the run since April when his girlfriend was discovered dead, according to the FBI. Policarpio, 39, was charged with first-degree murder on April 22 in Los Angeles, and authorities issued local, state and federal warrants for his arrest.
The FBI said he was caught by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at the San Ysidro point of entry as he crossed into the U.S. from Tijuana.
According to authorities, Policarpio and his live-in girlfriend, Lauren Elaine Olguin, attended an April 12 gathering at a friend’s home in the 500 block of North Virgil Avenue in East Hollywood.
He stormed into a room where Olguin, 32, was playing cards and became angry, officials said.
