Nevada authorities announced that a prisoner sentenced to life in prison escaped from the South Desert Correctional Center in Indian Springs, located 54 minutes from Las Vegas.
Based on the brief data available to date, the informative part prepared by those in charge of the prison mentions that Porfirio Duarte-Herrera disappeared prior to the count of inmates scheduled at 7 am on Tuesday and this forced the implementation of the security protocol established for cases of fugitives.
According to the Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC), Duarte-Herrera, originally from Nicaragua, had been held in the facilities since 2010, when he was convicted of killing Willebaldo Dorantes Antonio, a hotdog vendor, using a motion-activated bomb on a table coffee when it was on top of a parked car near the Luxor hotel-casino.
So his chances of parole were nil, as he had been shown to be too dangerous a subject to keep out of prison.
The complicated thing about his disappearance is that, According to the office of Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak, the prisoner could have escaped since the weekend, which was described as an unacceptable oversight.
“This type of security breach cannot be allowed and those responsible will be punished.
The Nevada Department of Corrections informed my office that an inmate had been reported missing. My Office later learned that, following further investigation by NDOC, the inmate has been missing since the beginning of the weekend. This is unacceptable.
NDOC continues to work with law enforcement officials in the search for this inmate. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the fugitive inmate should immediately call 911”, says a statement issued by the state president.
