Pennsylvania authorities warned that escaped convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante was armed, as they pursued him in the early hours of Tuesday.
confirmed that a homeowner on Coventryville Road shot at someone matching Cavalcante's description on Monday night. It was unclear if the individual was hit, but sources believe the person is armed and may be the convicted killer, according to WPVI.
Investigators had believed Cavalcante is in Chester County, Pennsylvania, but "always consider other options," Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said at a Monday news conference. This comes after Cavalcante, 34, snuck through a perimeter guarded by hundreds of officers, stole a van, altered his appearance and drove miles north where he tried to contact two former work colleagues.
Bivens said Cavalcante allegedly stole a white Ford work van from Baily's Dairy sometime Saturday night about three-fourths of a mile from the perimeter around Longwood Gardens. He said the van was unlocked and the keys were left inside, enabling Cavalcante to easily steal the vehicle. Bivens said the video was taken at 9:52 p.m. Saturday at the home in East Pikeland Township, near East Nantmeal Township, that belongs to a man who once worked with Cavalcante.
"That associate was not home but a female resident observed Cavalcante and called her friend. That friend responded to the residence and eventually placed a call to local police," Bivens said.
