Pennsylvania manhunt: Escaped killer Danelo Cavalcante caught in Philly suburb | FULL

An escaped murderer who captured international headlines for “crab-walking” out of a Pennsylvania jail has been captured, police announced Wednesday.

Danelo Cavalcante was caught on Wednesday, with the help of a police dog, as he hid in thick brush after eluding a manhunt for two weeks and unnerving residents in the suburbs west of Philadelphia, authorities said.

The convicted murderer, who was armed with a rifle, was taken into custody without further incident. Pennsylvania State Police Lieutenant Colonel George Bivens said he did not have the opportunity to use the firearm.

Cavalcante escaped from the Chester County Prison while awaiting transfer to state prison on Aug. 31, after being sentenced to life for stabbing his ex-girlfriend to death in 2021.
