Absolutely. Ecuador is one of many nations that has an Extradition Treaty (treaty between 2 nations that says if a person committing a crime in one nation is found in the other, the nation finding the criminal will return the criminal to the nation where the crime was committed) with the United States.

In some cases, a crime may have been committed in both nations. In those types of cases, there is usually a negotiation between the 2 treaty nations to determine who will take custody. Normally the decision is based on which nation has been injured the most by the crime committed, the chance of success for a conviction, and the resulting punishment.

There have been some cases in where U.S. citizens wanted for murder have been caught in a nation with extradition power, but have refused to do so because that nation doesn't believe in the death penalty, and in murder cases that's always a possible sentence.
