FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives

The FBI's notorious "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list was founded in 1950 -- more than 500 fugitives have been added since then

Police say Juan Elias Garcia was detained Thursday near the U.S. Embassy in Managua and immediately turned over to the FBI. The agency confirmed that the newest addition to the its top ten list turned himself in yesterday in Nicaragua.

The 21-year-old suspect was added to the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" on Wednesday, the first MS-13 gang member to make the list.

Prosecutors allege the El Salvador native lured Vanessa Argueta and her 2-year-old son to the woods of Central Islip, N.Y. in February 2010, where two other gang members shot them to death.
