PHILADELPHIA Police Department are on a manhunt for a teenage murder suspect who escaped from a hospital on Wednesday and is considered dangerous.
Deputy Commissioner of Investigations Frank Vanore, in a news conference Wednesday, said authorities identified the escaped prisoner as 17-year-old Shane Pryor, who was being held on murder charges.
Stonix News reports that Pryor escaped from the emergency room parking lot of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia around noon Wednesday after he was brought in for an apparent hand injury.
“He was able to escape from staff and run from this area on foot,” Vanore said.
Vanore went on to describe Pryor as a Black male with a light complexion and is 5’7″ weighing 180 pounds. He was last seen in the University Avenue and Civic Center Boulevard area wearing blue sweatpants, a blue sweatshirt and slides with socks on his feet.
Investigators reviewing surveillance footage spotted Pryor entering and exiting buildings in the area following his escape.
Philadelphia authorities have encouraged anyone with information regarding Pryor to call 9-1-1 and to not approach the suspect.
