Escaped Philadelphia teen murder suspect Shane Pryor captured by U.S. Marshals after 5 day manhunt

Shane Pryor, 17, is said to have escaped police custody Wednesday in the parking lot of the emergency room at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia

A 17-year-old murder suspect who escaped from a Philadelphia hospital on Wednesday has been captured, the U.S. Marshals Service Philadelphia confirmed Sunday.

According to U.S. Marshals, Shane Pryor was taken into custody late Sunday afternoon after investigators saw him on surveillance video getting off the bus in an area of Philadelphia he was known to frequent.

Authorities said Pryor was uncuffed and with two prison staff members when he managed to exit a vehicle in the Emergency Room parking lot at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and escape around noon on Wednesday, January 24. 

After reviewing surveillance footage, officials say that he escaped the hospital driveway and went from building to building, walking right into public entrances and even spoke to people asking them for a phone.
