De Blasio vows 'full review' as NYC murder suspect mistakenly released from Rikers Island remains at large

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Wednesday promised a "full review" after a murder suspect held for three years awaiting trial was mistakenly released from the infamous prison on Rikers Island.

Surrounding jurisdictions have been notified about efforts to locate Buggs since he was mistakenly released from the Otis Bantum Correctional Center on Monday due to a clerical error. He is considered armed and dangerous, and corrections officers were reportedly warned to call NYPD instead of attempting to apprehend Buggs themselves.  Addressing the ongoing manhunt at his press conference Wednesday, de Blasio said he has "a high level of confidence" that Buggs will be re-apprehended shortly, vowing a "full review" into how he was released prematurely earlier in the week in the first place.
