Daring Escape: 3 Fugitives, Including Murder Suspect, on the Run in Atlanta

A high-stakes manhunt is underway in Atlanta, Georgia, after three inmates broke out of the DeKalb County Jail on Monday morning. Stevenson Charles, Yusuf Minor, and Naod Yohannes, who are considered 'dangerous,' were found missing during a routine security check. The DeKalb County Jail, located about six miles east of Atlanta's downtown area, was sealed off at 6 a.m. with deputies stationed around the building to prevent further escape attempts. Authorities have warned the public to exercise extreme caution and avoid approaching the fugitives directly. Sheriff Melody M. Maddox has vowed to safely return the inmates to custody as quickly as possible. 'We take this breach very seriously and are working diligently to ensure these individuals are safely returned to custody,' she said. The three fugitives are considered a threat to public safety. Here's a brief overview of each: Stevenson Charles, 24, is a murder and armed robbery suspect with strong connections to Miami and Atlanta. He is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds. Charles was serving a life sentence at the time of his escape and has a history of committing heinous crimes, including kidnapping, carjacking, armed robbery, murder, aggravated assault, and sodomy on a person under the age of 10. Yusuf Minor, 31, is accused of two counts of armed robbery and two counts of possessing a firearm while committing a felony. He is also considered armed and should not be approached directly if seen. Naod Yohannes' charges and background are not specified in the available information. The U.S. Marshals, along with Georgia authorities, are leading the manhunt for the fugitives. The public is advised to report any sightings to the authorities immediately.
