Two fugitive murder suspects who escaped Mississippi jail caught following manhunt
Police in Mississippi said Saturday they caught two murder suspects who escaped from a jail early Friday morning. Tyrekennel Collins, 24, and Dezarrious Johnson, 18, were found in an abandoned home Saturday around noon by officers, following a 33-hour manhunt, according to police. The suspects, who escaped from the Claiborne County Detention Center around 2:20 a.m. Friday, were considered armed and dangerous according to the authorities.
