Convicted killer Danelo Cavalcante captured in Pennsylvania nearly 2 weeks after prison escape
State police announce capture of Danelo Cavalcante in Pennsylvania
Danelo Cavalcante has been captured alive in Pennsylvania after he escaped from Chester County Prison and eluded authorities for nearly two weeks, state police announced Wednesday morning.
Cavalcante was surrounded and taken by surprise in northern Chester County shortly after 8 a.m., Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said during a press conference. Gov. Josh Shapiro told reporters that not a single shot was fired.
An aircraft using thermal technology led tactical teams of State Police and U.S. Border agents to the fugitive's location around 1 a.m., but a storm with severe lightning prevented Cavalcante's immediate capture, Bivens said. The teams kept the location surrounded to prevent his escape until they were able to converge.
When the teams moved in, Cavalcante tried to escape, crawling through thick brush, Bivens said. Authorities released a dog that ultimately subdued the prison escapee.
