The escaped killer of a one-year-old girl who fled from a medical transport van Tuesday was captured early Friday in a hotel in the Charlotte, North Carolina suburb of Kannapolis, authorities said.
Ramone Alston, 30, escaped from the van as it arrived at the UNC Gastroenterology hospital in Hillsborough, North Carolina by freeing himself from his leg restraints and fleeing into nearby woods with handcuffs on, the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction said.
No one was injured when he was taken into custody, the department said, adding that hundreds of law enforcement and public safety officials were involved in the search including FBI Charlotte SWAT agents, Kannapolis Police and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police.
