   ORANGE COUNTY, CA — A man wanted for murdering his ex-girlfriend's new   
   boyfriend has been extradited from Mexico back to the United States   
   after being on the run for eight years, county prosecutors said Friday.   
      
   Humberto Rodriguez Martinez, now 39, was wanted on a $2 million warrant   
   for his arrest after Orange County prosecutors charged him in 2017 with   
   the special circumstances lying in wait murder of 32-year-old Daniel   
   Reyes.   
      
   He was charged with one felony count of murder, one felony enhancement   
   of special circumstance lying in wait, and one felony enhancement of   
   personal use of a weapon — a knife, according to Orange County District   
   Attorney Todd Spitzer.   
      
   He pleaded not-guilty in Orange County Superior Court on Jan. 6, Spitzer   
   said.   
      
   Martinez was found by Mexican authorities with the assistance of the   
   U.S. Marshals Service in 2024, and arrested at the request of the United   
   States. He was extradited to Orange County on Dec. 4, 2025.   
      
   "This arrest does not undo the pain the victim's family has endured, but   
   it reinforces our commitment and promise to our community: we will never   
   stop working until justice is served," Anaheim Police Chief Manny Cid   
   said in a statement.   
      
   The crime happened on Oct. 17, 2017, when Martinez and his friend, Adan   
   Zapot-Leyva, 28, of Anaheim, went to the apartment of Martinez's   
   ex-girlfriend to watch his two children while their mother went to work.   
      
   According to Spitzer, Martinez and the woman had broken up several   
   months earlier and were co-parenting their two children.   
      
   The two men left the apartment at around 8:30 p.m., once the children's   
   mother came back from work. Her new boyfriend, Daniel Reyes, arrived   
   about a half-hour later.   
      
   Anaheim police were dispatched that night to the intersection of Santa   
   Ana Street and Helena Street after witnesses reported seeing two men   
   chasing Reyes and one of the men stabbing him.   
      
   Upon arrival, officers found Reyes bleeding from multiple stab wounds.   
   He was pronounced dead.   
      
   Zapot-Leyva was arrested two days later and was sentenced to 15 years to   
   life after he pled guilty in 2023 to one felony count of second-degree   
   murder.   
      
   "The pursuit of justice will never be derailed by time or distance. The   
   long arm of Orange County law enforcement reaches to every corner of the   
   earth to ensure the full weight of the law is felt by those who commit   
   the most heinous acts of violence against other human beings," Spitzer   
   said. "We are grateful for the incredible work of our investigators and   
   prosecutors and of our partners, both domestic and international, for   
   their assistance in tracking down a wanted murder and bringing him back   
   to Orange County to face the consequences of his actions."
