Minnesota murder suspect still on the run 1 week after being accidentally released from Indiana jail

Indiana authorities arrested the girlfriend of a murder suspect who is still on the run after being accidentally released from jail nearly a week ago, Marion County Sheriff Kerry Forestal said at a news conference Wednesday.

Kevin Mason, 28, is wanted on three Minnesota warrants, including one for murder in connection with a 2021 shooting in Minneapolis. 

Mason was arrested in Indianapolis on Sept. 11, but, due to a clerical error, he walked out of jail two days later. He called his girlfriend, 29-year-old Desiree Oliver, for a ride and was picked up near the jail, Forestal said.
