Louisiana Public Safety

Three inmates escaped a Louisiana jail after removing mortar and concrete blocks from a degraded outer wall, scaling down with sheets and lowering themselves to the ground. Johnathan Jevon Joseph was captured after a foot chase, Joseph Allen Harrington died by suicide during a police standoff, and 24-year-old Keith Eli — charged with attempted second-degree murder — remains at large as a manhunt continues; three jail employees have been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
