Hundreds of law enforcement officers were scouring the railways, creeks and roads in a suburban county near Philadelphia on Friday, looking for a man who escaped from prison a little over two weeks after being convicted of first-degree murder. The authorities said on Friday that local, state and federal officials were using “helicopters, drones and dogs” to find the convicted murderer, Danelo Cavalcante, who escaped from Chester County Prison early Thursday. “We believe that he is still in the general area,” said Deborah Ryan, the Chester County district attorney, at the Friday news conference. “We believe that he is hiding somewhere locally and that he is alone.”Image Danelo Cavalcante, 34, was last seen on Thursday morning. “We have every reason to believe he is considered dangerous at this time,” she said.

Law enforcement agencies were searching late Thursday for a Brazilian man who escaped from a prison near Philadelphia, days after he was sentenced to life in prison for the fatal stabbing of his former girlfriend, the authorities said. The inmate, Danelo Cavalcante, escaped from the Chester County Prison Thursday morning, the local district attorney’s office said on X, formerly known as Twitter. The prison’s acting warden, Howard Holland, declined to comment at a news conference on how or why the escape occurred, saying only that it was under investigation. Deb Ryan, the Chester County district attorney, said at the news conference that Mr. Cavalcante was last seen walking southbound in the county’s Pocopson Township that morning wearing a white T-shirt, gray shorts and white sneakers.
