Escaped inmate accused of killing deputy captured
SUMMARY: A manhunt was conducted in Simpson County for 22-year-old Joachin Blackwell, who shot and killed a 77-year-old sheriff's deputy. Blackwell was found less than 24 hours later in a wooded area near the escape scene and was taken into custody with the help of wildlife and fisheries officers. The suspect appeared disheveled and had an ankle injury. Blackwell had escaped while being escorted by Deputy James Blair, overpowering the transport officer and fleeing into the woods. The motive for the shooting remains unknown, but the community showed tremendous support in helping to capture Blackwell.
The Simpson County Sheriff's Office says an escaped inmate believed to be involved in the fatal shooting of a deputy has been captured.
