Fugitive Danelo Cavalcante Believed To Be Armed With Stolen Rifle In Pennsylvania

A manhunt for convicted killer Danelo Cavalcante has ended with his capture, Pennsylvania state police announced Wednesday morning.

A press conference is scheduled to provide additional details about his capture.

The 34-year-old had been on the run in southeast Pennsylvania since Aug. 31, when he was filmed climbing out of the Chester County Prison’s exercise yard and onto the roof. It wasn’t until an hour later that the prison realized he was missing, authorities said.

During his time on the lam, authorities said he was able to change his appearance with a fresh shave and new clothing. He also stole a rifle from a local home’s garage, exacerbating fears throughout the community.

Cavalcante’s desperate run followed his sentencing to life in prison in August after he was convicted of fatally stabbing an ex-girlfriend in front of her children in 2021. He is also wanted for a 2017 murder in his home country of Brazil.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
