An illegal alien who was convicted of murder escaped from a Pennsylvania prison on Thursday, according to reports. 

According to CNN, Danelo Cavalcante escaped the Chester County Prison at roughly 8:30 a.m. ET.

Cavalcante was convicted on murder charges August 16 for killing his ex-girlfriend in 2021 and was sentenced to life in prison. 

“Chester County Detectives and the Pennsylvania State Police are conducting a thorough county-wide search,” the DA’s office in a news release.

The Marshals noted that Cavalcante is also wanted in Brazil for homicide. It is unclear when he first entered the United States, according to The Daily Wire.
