In a daring escape, 17-year-old Shane Pryor managed to slip out of police custody on Wednesday afternoon. The incident took place in the parking lot of the Emergency Room at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Police have labeled Pryor as a "dangerous" escaped prisoner and have launched a manhunt to locate and apprehend him.

Deputy Commissioner of Investigations Frank J. Vanore briefed the media about the events that unfolded during Pryor's escape. According to Vanore, Pryor had been in police custody since 2020 when he was charged with murder at the young age of 14. Currently awaiting trial, Pryor was with two prison staff members while in the vehicle but was not handcuffed when he exited the car.

Following his escape, Pryor was reportedly last seen in the vicinity of University Avenue and Civic Center Boulevard. Philadelphia Police are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to find him. K-9 units have been deployed in the search, scouring parking lots and even underground facilities in the area. Authorities have emphasized that they do not believe Pryor is still inside the hospital.

The public has been urged to exercise extreme caution and not to approach Pryor. The authorities consider him to be a dangerous individual, and maintaining public safety is their utmost priority. As the manhunt continues, the Philadelphia Police are urging anyone with information regarding Pryor's whereabouts to come forward and assist in his swift apprehension.

It is imperative that the community remains vigilant while the search for Shane Pryor unfolds. The Philadelphia Police will continue to provide updates on the situation in order to keep the public informed and maintain a coordinated effort to bring the escaped prisoner back into custody.
