A Virginia man wanted for the murder of an Eastern Shore woman on Christmas Eve in 2021 has been arrested in Mexico.
Marta Merina, 33, was shot and killed outside her home on Howell Point Road in Trappe.
Following their investigation, Maryland State Police identified 32-year-old Ibarra Juarez as the shooter. While no motive has been disclosed, detectives believe Juarez and Merina knew each other.
In March 2022, Juarez was arrested in Oaxaca, Mexico for another crime. After serving time in Mexico, he was extradited to Maryland on October 23 to face charges for Merina’s murder.
