A manhunt is underway for four inmates who escaped from a jail near Mississippi’s capital over the weekend, one of whom is suspected of killing a man and stealing his truck after he fled, authorities say
. Staff at the Raymond Detention Center, some 15 miles west of downtown Jackson, realized the four men were missing after a routine headcount around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones said in a news conference on Monday. After the jail was placed on lockdown, staff found two breaches inside the facility – one in a cell and another in the roof, the sheriff said. Authorities believe the group climbed onto the roof around 8:30 p.m.
The truck was last seen heading south on Interstate 55 in the nearby city of Terry, Mississippi, Davis said. “This suspect is considered to be armed and dangerous,” he added. At least one of the other men is believed to have escaped in a vehicle to Texas, the sheriff said. A witness reported seeing a Hinds County Public Works vehicle crash through a gate around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Jones said.
