A San Jose man accused of fatally shooting another man in front of the victim’s family during an argument over a parking spot was arrested in Baja, Mexico, after more than four years on the run, police announced Thursday.
Authorities apprehended Uatesoni Joseph Paasi in Rosarito on Nov. 22, following what police described as an exhaustive investigation that included the help of federal agents. Paasi was booked into Santa Clara County Jail on Dec. 2 on suspicion of murder.
“If you want to play hide and seek, know that we will find you, no matter what country you cower in,” San Jose Police Chief Paul Joseph said in a statement. “Our relentless pursuit of dangerous and violent suspects is not defined by borders.”
Paasi is accused of killing 33-year-old Marco Antonio Santos in June 2021. Po
