In a surprising turn of events, Kevin Mason, a murder suspect, was mistakenly released from an Indianapolis detention center and has managed to evade capture ever since, according to police. The announcement of his accidental release came six days after it happened. Mason, 28, had three warrants for his arrest from Minnesota, one of which is related to a fatal shooting incident in 2021 that he had been on the run for two years prior to his arrest, as reported by CNN. The release was attributed to a “faulty records review,” and the two inmate records clerks responsible have been terminated, according to ABC News. The search for Mason has now expanded to other cities beyond Indianapolis, with a $10,000 reward being offered for any information leading to his recapture.
After his accidental release, Mason contacted his girlfriend, who picked him up from the jail and provided him with a new cellphone. She was apprehended on Wednesday afternoon, according to CBS News. The delay in informing the public about the manhunt was a strategic decision by the police, who wanted to maintain a tactical advantage and avoid alerting Mason or driving him further underground. To anyone assisting Mason, the authorities have a stern message: “We’re going to be very aggressive in pursuing you. We will find you, we will criminally charge you, just as we did with Desiree Oliver,” Mason’s girlfriend. (Read more manhunt stories.)
