Pennsylvania community reportedly ‘thrilled’ by capture of escaped killer

Fox News’ Nate Foy provides details on the capture of Pennsylvania killer Danelo Cavalcante.

Officials in Pennsylvania released the mugshot for convicted killer Danelo Cavalcante after he was captured on Wednesday morning, nearly two weeks after he escaped from Chester County Prison.

Cavalcante escaped from the Chester County Prison the morning of Aug. 31, and the U.S. Marshals Service says he’s also wanted for a homicide in Brazil. Cavalcante was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend in 2021 and sentenced to life in prison.

Cavalcante was captured on Wednesday shortly after 8:00 a.m.

He is in custody of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections and is housed at SCI Phoenx, a maximum-security prison in the state, according to officials.
