UPDATE: Saul Luna Villa’s extradition took place on Tuesday, Feb. 20 at the Paso Del Norte Bridge.

Luna Villa’s extradition was initially scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 21.

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) —A Fort Bliss soldier who is being accused of killing a 19-year-old woman in Juarez last year, has waived his right to extradition and will be sent to Mexico to face murder charges, according to court records obtained by KTSM.

According to court records, a federal judge signed off on the waiver of extradition and Saul Luna Villa, 23, will be facing murder charges that allegedly took place in Ciudad Juarez.

The extradition is scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at the Paso Del Norte Bridge, according to court records.

As we have previously reported, Luna Villa is facing a charge of aggravated femicide after Aylin Valenzuela was found dead at the intersection of Paseo del Norte and Agustin Barbachano in the Anahuac neighborhood in Ciudad Juarez, according to court documents.

Court records state Luna Villa and Valenzuela were in a four year relationship and Luna Villa was “very jealous and possessive, and the couple argued very often.”

Autopsy results revealed that Aylin Valenzuela was stabbed five times and shot five times.

Court records also state Luna Villa has been stationed at Fort Bliss for two years and has multiple domestic violence reports.
