SAN ANTONIO -- A San Antonio man suspected of killing two people outside a San Antonio strip club has been caught.
Jacob Matthew Keller, 26, was arrested in Mexico early Monday morning and is now back in the United States, said the U.S. Marshal's Office. Keller had been on the run since April 17, when San Antonio police said he gunned down 26-year-old Jesse Garcia and 22-year-old Orlando Saldana in the parking lot of Secrets Executive Club in the 100 block of New Laredo Highway. Keller then fled San Antonio and made his way for Mexico, where Lone Star Fugitive Task Force members spotted him and notified Mexican police.
"They spotted him last night getting into a taxi cab," Lone Star Fugitive Task Force Member Tom Smith said. "They followed the taxi cab and when he got out, they arrested him."
News of the arrest brought sighs of relief to Garcia and Saldana's family and friends, they said to KSAT.com. Keller is now being held in Maverick County and will soon be brought back to Bexar County, where he will face charges of capital murder, evading arrest, resisting arrest, assault with bodily injury and criminal mischief.
