From ABC News: An inmate was mistakenly released from a New Orleans jail, sparking an ongoing manhunt, authorities said Friday.
Khalil Bryan, 30, was released from the Orleans Justice Center on Friday due to a “human error,” when he was confused with an individual with a similar last name, according to Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson.
“I want to make a sincere apology to the people of New Orleans,” Hutson said during a press briefing on Friday. “The mistaken release of Khalil Bryan was a serious error, and as sheriff, I take full responsibility.”
The New Orleans Police Department is searching for Bryan, Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick announced, adding that Bryan may not be aware that his release was a mistake.
Police are now informing him that he is a fugitive now, she said, asy she urged him to surrender himself.
