A man wanted in connection with the fatal fentanyl poisoning of a 1-year-old boy at a Bronx day care this month was arrested in Mexico on Tuesday by federal agents, local and federal law enforcement officials said.
Earlier on Tuesday, New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said that Mr. Herrera had been on the run for nearly two weeks after fleeing the home-based day care on Sept. 15.
Mr. Herrera, who has not yet been charged, is the fourth person to be arrested in connection with the death of the boy, Nicholas Feliz Dominici.
The police worked with federal and Mexican officials to capture Mr. Herrera, officials said.
Officials had expected Mr. Herrera to attempt to return to the Dominican Republic, where he is from.
