The police in Pennsylvania have alerted people that Danelo Cavalcante, who escaped from prison, is carrying a weapon. They have been looking for him for 12 days because he is a dangerous person who has killed someone.
They are looking in South Coventry Township, which is north-west of Philadelphia, and told people to stay indoors early on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old person from Brazil is believed to have removed his beard to try and hide from the authorities.
He was found guilty of murdering his former girlfriend and given a lifelong prison term.
But a week after finding out his punishment, he escaped from Chester County Prison on August 31st by shuffling sideways between two walls, climbing a fence, and going through razor wire.
He took and later left behind a milk truck and people have seen him multiple times recently.
Cavalcante has a weapon. The police told people who live in the area to keep their doors and windows locked, keep their vehicles safe, and stay inside.
The amount of money offered for any information about where he is has gone up from $20,000 to $25,000.
Cavalcante was given a punishment of life in prison without any chance of being released for killing Deborah Brandao. He stabbed her 38 times in front of her two young children in April 2021.
Sarah Brandao’s sister told CNN that she has been unable to sleep for days since he ran away, and she is scared that he might come to her house.
She said that he and her sister became friends when they lived next to each other in Chester County. However, he started feeling jealous and angry.
He is being searched by the authorities in Brazil for his involvement in a murder that took place in 2017.
