Suspect in multiple killings arrested nearly 10 days after escaping from Philadelphia prison

A suspect accused in multiple killings was re-captured by authorities in Philadelphia on Wednesday morning, almost 10 days after he escaped from a prison in the area.

Eighteen-year-old Ameen Hurst, who is charged in the shooting deaths of four people between December 2020 and March 2021, broke out of the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center earlier this month by cutting a hole in the fence, authorities said at the time. 

Hurst was arrested without incident on Wednesday, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw confirmed in a tweet.
