El Salvadoran law enforcement authorities arrested McLeod without incident and he will be returned to San Diego County to face a murder charge, according to the San Diego County District Attorney's Office.
McLeod, 37, was wanted by the San Diego Police Department for the 2016 killing of Krystal Mitchell, 30.
The victim's mother, Josephine Funes Wentzel, is a former police detective who has been fundamental to locating McLeod. Wentzel has found leads for law enforcement and used social media to help spread word about the international manhunt. The person who sent in the tip said they read about McLeod and saw his picture in Univision, according to Wentzel. The tipster was positive it was him, Wentzel added.
