ROCKLIN, Calif. — A murder suspect who escaped from a Northern California medical facility on Sunday has been captured following a massive manhunt, authorities said.
Eric Abril, a suspect in Northern California hostage-taking homicide and shootout with police, was caught on Monday afternoon, according to the Placer County Sheriff's Office.
More than 70 law enforcement officers from multiple agencies, including the Rocklin Police Department, were involved in the search for Abril. Authorities released few details on how Abril escaped while supposedly under around-the-clock guard. He bolted from the Sutter Roseville Medical Center after being taken there Thursday for an undisclosed medical issue.
In a statement released Monday before Abril was taken into custody, the sheriff's department said,"We can confirm at some point, Abril was able to defeat his restraints." "We are taking every measure necessary to ensure all our policies and protocols are adequate and within industry standards to ensure this does not happen again," the sheriff's statement reads.
