MEXICO CITY –  Mexico's Safety Department says federal agents have arrested a member of the Zetas drug cartel allegedly linked to the killing of a U.S. immigration agent.

The department says police arrested Luis Rojo Sunday in the northern state of San Luis Potosi.

It didn't say how Rojo, also known as "Red Bear," was involved in the Feb. 15 killing of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jaime Zapata. The department says the 27-year-old suspect is in charge of handling finances for the cartel.

The department said in a statement that federal agents and soldiers raided seven homes in the state of San Luis Potosi and four in the border city of Nuevo Laredo as part of the investigation into the attack that also wounded U.S. immigration agent Victor Avila.
