According to a report, a Georgia inmate being held on murder and other charges was at large late Wednesday after escaping custody earlier this week.
Authorities in Effingham County claimed a “suspected malfunction of a door” at a detention facility allowed the inmate to enter an unsecured area and escape Monday night, Atlanta-based FOX 5 reported.
The refugee, identified as Kevin David Lenix Wilson, 32, is considered “dangerous,” authorities said. They advised the public not to approach Wilson if they happened to see him.

Wilson has been held for the Rincon Police Department since his arrest during a traffic stop in October 2020, FOX 5 reported. In August, he was convicted on three counts of malicious murder, one count of felony murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery and possession of a firearm by a criminal charged — all in connection with a May 2020 incident in Savannah, the station said.
