A $50,000 reward is being offered for information on the whereabouts of a North Carolina inmate, convicted of killing a 1-year-old girl, who escaped this week. Ramone Alston, 30, fled Tuesday morning as he arrived to a hospital for a medical appointment. The reward sum has grown since his escape and now stands at $50,000 — $30,000 authorized by Gov. Roy Cooper, $10,000 from the U.S. Marshals Service, and $10,000 by the FBI.
In a news conference Wednesday, Keith Acree, the communications director of the Department of Adult Correction, said officials are “pretty certain” Alston’s no longer in the immediate area of his escape. Officials said Wednesday that more than 300 law enforcement personnel from 19 agencies have searched 1,335 acres around the medical facility. Alston was convicted in 2018 of first-degree murder in the Christmas Day 2015 shooting that killed 1-year-old Maleah Williams in Chapel Hill.
