Authorities have successfully captured Joshua Zimmerman, a 30-year-old Mississippi inmate who had escaped from the Desoto County Jail on June 14. Zimmerman, who was being held for armed robbery and attempted murder, had managed to evade authorities for two months before being found barricaded in a seafood restaurant in Chicago.
The US Marshals Service, in a statement released on Wednesday, confirmed Zimmerman's capture but did not provide specific details regarding the circumstances of his arrest. It remains unclear whether Zimmerman was armed during the incident or if anyone was injured in the process.
