Fugitive Arrested in Mexico as Missing Sacramento Children Are Recovered

Authorities will arrange transfer to the United States for prosecution following the arrest.

Overview

  • Authorities said Tuesday that 40-year-old Camron Lee was arrested in Primo Tapia, Baja California, and his two young children were found in his custody and returned to California safe and in good health.
  • Lee is held in U.S. custody in San Diego and faces murder and multiple weapon-possession charges filed in Sacramento, with officials preparing logistics for his transfer and prosecution.
  • The FBI credited a public tip that followed a bilingual rewards campaign and a months-long multiagency search that included cooperation from Mexican law enforcement.
  • The case began after 28-year-old Angelica Bravo was found dead in her North Sacramento home in July 2024 and investigators linked Lee to the scene and to a vehicle later found abandoned in Ensenada.
  • Family and friends said the children’s return brought relief but noted ongoing trauma and the need for supports as legal proceedings and custody matters move forward.
