Fugitive wanted in deaths of Gwinnett children arrested

ATLANTA (AP) A fugitive wanted in the deaths of three children in Gwinnett County has been extradited to Georgia after being captured in Mexico.

Ivan Gonzalez was captured in Mexico after being on the run for four years. Police said he is wanted on murder and arson charges stemming from a 2011 fire in Lilburn that killed 21-month old Stacy Brito, 3-year-old Jose Ivan Guevara and 4-year-old Isaac Guevara.

Police said Gonzalez was making methamphetamine in the home. The children's mother was also arrested.

Gonzalez is charged with three counts of murder, trafficking meth and marijuana and three counts of arson, among other charges.
