Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Last week, Omar Estrada, 30, was extridited to the U.S. from Mexico, the U.S. Marshals Service confirmed. Estrada was booked on June 18, 2022 at the Harris County jail in Houston, Texas, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

He is scheduled for a court hearing in Harris County on July 5, 2022 for an extradition move to Wisconsin for multiple felony counts including 1st-degree reckless homicide.

Estrada's accomplice, José R. Sánchez, 29, aka, "Droopy" is still on the run and police believe he is still in Mexico.

According to the criminal complaint in Milwaukee County, in late August 2017, Sánchez, then 24, and Estrada, then 25, got into an altercation inside the Kaña Mojito Nightclub at the 600 block of S. 5th St. in the Southside of Milwaukee. Club security were able to break it up and remove those involved including Sánchez and Estrada in the altercation over a female. The suspects returned to Kaña after retrieving several handguns (.380 Cal. and .45 Cal.) and began to shoot at patrons exiting Kaña striking a male and a woman including fatally wounding Angel J. Ortega, 20. Afterwards, Sánchez and Estrada fled the scene and had been on the run, since then. Police believed the suspects fled to Mexico and the U.S. Marshals Service added both suspects to their wanted list in Wisconsin.

Sánchez and Estrada were each charged with three felony counts that include 1st-degree reckless homicide and party to crime and use of a dangerous weapon, if convicted they're facing up to 60-years in prison each; 1st-degree reckless injury and party to crime and use of a dangerous weapon, if convicted, they're facing up to 40-years in prison each, and 1st-degree reckless endangering safety and party to crime and use of a dangerous weapon, if convicted they're facing up to 12-years and six months in prison each and up to $25,000 in fines, according to court records.
