One of the escaped Louisiana inmates has been captured, according to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s office. Omarion Hookfin, 19, has been taken into custody, while Jamarcus Cyprian, 20, remains at large as of Friday afternoon.
The escape occurred when the inmates were participating in their recreation time on the yard at the Parish Jail in Amite City. Two of the inmates escaped on Saturday afternoon, while the other two fled on Sunday, according to Sheriff Daniel Edwards.
Avery Guidry, 19, and Travon Johnson, 21, were found hiding in a dumpster behind a Dollar General store on Monday. The four inmates were all held in connection with violent crimes prior to their escapes from the Tangipahoa Parish Jail north of New Orleans.
Hookfin, Guidry, and Johnson were awaiting trial after being charged in connection with a deadly home invasion in 2022, which resulted in the death of a father and the injury of his 12-year-old daughter.
