Ex-Chilean Army Officer Arrested in Florida for 1973 Killing of Folk Singer Victor Jara

Pedro Barrientos, a former Chilean army lieutenant, was arrested in Florida for the murder of singer Victor Jara in 1973.
Barrientos was wanted in Chile for Jara's killing at a stadium after the 1973 coup led by General Augusto Pinochet.
Barrientos moved to Florida in 1990 and was arrested during a traffic stop by immigration and local law enforcement.
He is currently in custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending extradition to Chile.
In 2013, a U.S. jury found Barrientos liable for Jara's death and awarded $28 million in damages to his family.
