Accused US killer captured in Mexico after monthslong international manhunt for recycling bin murder

A man accused of murdering a Florida resident and concealing the body in a recycling bin has been apprehended and extradited from Mexico, concluding a lengthy international search, according to officials from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities in Mexico detained Alfredo Carballo Gonzalez, 32, on January 27. He was then extradited to Miami, where he was arrested by homicide detectives the following day, as reported by the sheriff’s office on Thursday. Details regarding Carballo Gonzalez’s immigration status have not been disclosed, and Fox News Digital has contacted ICE to obtain further information.

This arrest brings to a close the investigation into the murder of Daylon Fleitas Gonzalez, who went missing in early August 2025 after a meeting with Carballo Gonzalez in Medley, Florida.

Investigators revealed that the two men met on August 3 near Northwest 106th Street and 95th Avenue. During this meeting, Carballo Gonzalez allegedly got into the victim’s truck, leading to a reported altercation.

According to court documents referenced by WTVJ, the meeting between Fleitas and Carballo Gonzalez was intended for Fleitas to collect a $10,000 debt owed to him by Carballo Gonzalez.

According to investigators, Carballo Gonzalez was then seen placing a recycling bin into the bed of the truck and driving away. A second vehicle followed and was later identified as being driven by Ariely Alvarez Cabrera, Carballo Gonzalez’s girlfriend.

Five days later, on Aug. 8, the department said that homicide detectives located the victim’s truck with multiple items of “evidentiary value” inside.

During a canvass of the area, detectives found the recycling bin that had been transported in the truck, and Fleitas Gonzalez was found dead inside. Authorities allege that Carballo Gonzalez and Alvarez Cabrera fled with their 5-month-old baby.

Authorities did not say how or when Alvarez Cabrera and Carballo Gonzalez made their way to Mexico. 

Jail records show Carballo Gonzalez is facing charges of second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence. Cabrera is also facing a charge of tampering with physical evidence, as well as a charge of accessory after the fact.

Officials said that the baby was recovered safely and returned to Florida. Fox News Digital has reached out to Alvarez Cabrera’s attorney, Bijan Sebastian Parwaresch, for comment.
