From Times Wire Reports
One of two suspects in the killing of a University of Colorado student in a Mexican resort town has escaped from jail, police said.
The guard on duty accidentally released 30-year-old Alfonso Ramirez Sastre on Friday after he apparently swapped clothing with a cellmate, said a Puerto Vallarta municipal police spokeswoman who requested anonymity.
Ramirez and Daniel Vargas, also 30, had been arrested in the Wednesday shooting death of 21-year-old David Parrish of Boulder, Colo., she said. Police believe Ramirez fired the gun.
