Family hoping arrest in Mexico leads to justice

BUCKLEY – A Buckley family whose teen-age son was killed by an impaired driver almost four years ago is "cautiously optimistic" that they may finally get justice for their son and brother.

Fernando Nunez, 24, the man accused of killing Zachary Mingee, 15, of Buckley, on Sept. 11, 2004, is now in custody in Mexico City, Mexico, awaiting the possibility that he may be returned to Iroquois County for prosecution.
