Lee, 40, was booked into San Diego Central Jail at 1:22 a.m. by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official. Jail records list him as ineligible for release and show a murder charge along with a federal hold in connection with Bravo’s death.
The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office is expected to announce the arrest at a 10 a.m. news conference with District Attorney Thien Ho, FBI Sacramento Acting Special Agent in Charge Eugene Wu and Sacramento Police Chief Zachary Bales.
Authorities also are expected to provide an update on the condition of Lee’s children, Athena and Mateo Lee, who vanished after Bravo’s July 2024 death. Their condition was not immediately known Tuesday morning.
Bravo, 28, was found dead July 8, 2024, at a home on Didcot Circle in North Sacramento’s Oak Knoll neighborhood. Friends had asked police to check on her, and officers found her unresponsive in a bathtub.

Her two youngest children, Athena and Mateo, were later reported missing. Investigators said they believed Lee had taken the children and fled in a gray 2023 Honda Passport that was later seen crossing into Mexico. The vehicle was eventually found abandoned near Ensenada, Baja California.
Lee was initially described as a person of interest before prosecutors charged him with murder. Authorities said the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office later concluded that homicide could not be ruled out in Bravo’s death. Her body had multiple injuries, and toxicology testing detected MDMA in her system.
Bravo’s family has said she was trying to leave a violent relationship with Lee before she died.
The FBI and Sacramento police later offered up to $50,000 in combined rewards for information leading to Lee’s arrest and conviction, and the recovery of the children.
