  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:10
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:14
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Wednesday,
• 0:18
  July 8th, 2026. Welcome to season two of the
• 0:21
  Sacramento Brief. Let's get you caught up. A
• 0:24
  man wanted in connection with a nearly nine -year
• 0:27
  -old Sacramento County murder case is now back
• 0:29
  in California to face prosecution. The FBI's
• 0:33
  Sacramento field office says Jose Guadalupe Lopez
• 0:36
  Nunez was extradited from Mexico and returned
• 0:39
  to Sacramento on July 2nd. The case dates back
• 0:43
  to September of 2017, when an angler discovered
• 0:47
  the body of Emelina Quintero Ramos in the Sacramento
• 0:51
  River near Isleton. Investigators with the Sacramento
• 0:54
  County Sheriff's Office later identified Lopez
• 0:57
  Nunez, who was Quintero Ramo's boyfriend, as
• 1:03
  the suspect. Authorities allege he killed her
• 1:06
  and disposed her body in the river. A warrant
• 1:09
  was issued in October of 2017, and the FBI launched
• 1:13
  an international effort to locate him. Following
• 1:16
  a tip from the public, Lopez Nunez was arrested
• 1:21
  in Zacatecas, Mexico, in August of 2025. FBI
• 1:28
  agents returned him to Sacramento last week,
• 1:31
  and he has made his first appearance in Sacramento
• 1:33
  Superior Court on July 7th. The FBI accredited
• 1:37
  partnership with local, federal, and international
• 1:40
  agencies for bringing him back to face prosecution.
• 1:44
  As always, charges are allegations and the defendants
• 1:48
  are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in
• 1:50
  court. Also in federal news, a 19 -year -old
• 1:54
  Elk Grove man has been arrested after authorities
• 1:57
  say he made threats involving fireworks and federal
• 2:00
  buildings. Federal prosecutors say Trevin McDaniel,
• 2:05
  known online as the Wild Wolf Spider, came to
• 2:11
  the attention of investigators during a separate
• 2:13
  investigation into threats of targeting federal
• 2:16
  properties and officials. According to court
• 2:18
  documents, investigators reviewed online messages
• 2:22
  and later identified McDaniel as the person behind
• 2:26
  the account. Authorities say McDaniel posted
• 2:29
  videos discussing the use of fireworks against
• 2:32
  generators connected to federal buildings in
• 2:35
  Sacramento. During a search of his residence,
• 2:38
  investigators seized items including a costume
• 2:41
  matching videos posted online, a cell phone,
• 2:44
  and two mini batons. McDaniels has been ordered
• 2:47
  to be detained. If convicted, he faces up to
• 2:51
  10 years in prison. The charges remain allegations,
• 2:54
  again, unless proven in court. For today's weather,
• 2:58
  your Sacramento weather will be sunny skies.
