During a standoff in Louisiana, police used a robot to help arrest a man wanted in connection to a killing in his home country.
Honduran national Elviss Caballero-Zuniga, who had been wanted on a murder charge, was apprehended by police with help from a robot drone in Kenner, a suburb of New Orleans, authorities said.
The 53-year-old man's arrest took place on Friday, Aug. 22, following an "intense standoff" with officials, the U.S. Border Patrol reported.
The Kenner Police Department, the agency that handled the arrest, said Caballero-Zuniga surrendered to a SWAT robot and drone team after authorities "breached the front door using the armored vehicle's 'boom.'"
