   UPDATE Aug 16, 2024 6:24 AM CDT   
   A convicted killer in North Carolina who escaped from a medical transport van   
   on Tuesday has been recaptured. After a manhunt involving hundreds of local,   
   state, and federal officers, Ramone Alston was arrested early Friday at a   
   hotel in Kannapolis, a    
   suburb of Charlotte, NBC News reports. Authorities said the 30-year-old, who   
   is serving a life sentence for a shooting that killed a 1-year-old girl on   
   Christmas Day, 2015, was " taken into custody without injuries to anyone."   
   WYFF reports that a woman,    
   Jacobia Crisp, was arrested in another county and charged with felony aiding   
   and abetting a fugitive.

   A massive manhunt is on in the state of North Carolina after a murderer being   
   transported to a doctor appointment broke free from his restraints and escaped   
   into the woods. Officials say that 30-year-old Ramone Alston—convicted for   
   the 2015 Christmas    
   Day shooting death of 1-year-old Maleah Williams and sentenced to life behind   
   bars—was being taken by van Tuesday morning from the Bertie Correctional   
   Institution in Windsor to an appointment at a Hillsborough medical facility   
   when he escaped, per NBC    
   News.   
      
   According to a statement from the state's Department of Adult Correction,   
   Alston had somehow "freed himself from leg restraints," and so when the van   
   pulled up to the medical facility, Alston, "still in handcuffs, jumped out and   
   ran into adjacent woods."    
   He was reported to be wearing a waist chain, along with a gray T-shirt, khaki   
   trousers, and white New Balance sneakers, per WRAL. Alston is believed to have   
   relatives and friends in the Hillsborough area. "We know that there are people   
   out there who know    
   where he is and probably have information to share," department rep Keith   
   Acree told reporters.
