A 22-year-old man named as the driver of a vehicle that ran over and killed a U.S. Border Patrol agent as he and other suspected drug smugglers fled toward Mexico was identified yesterday as a Mexican national.

Jesus Navarro Montes was taken into custody Tuesday by Mexican authorities in the northern state of Sonora after a three-day international manhunt. His capture followed the death Saturday of Border Patrol Agent Luis Aguilar Jr., 32, who was killed as he tried to lay spike strips on a highway near the Imperial Sand Dunes in California, 20 miles west of Yuma, Arizona.
