Two 13-year-old gang members have been arrested in the killing of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent during an apparent bungled robbery, a Honduran official said.
Special Agent Timothy Markey was shot dead Friday while on vacation visiting a popular Roman Catholic shrine in Tegucigalpa.
The suspects were identified as Erlan Colindres, who has escaped three times from correctional centers, and his “bodyguard” Manuel Romero. Police described both as seasoned gang members.
