The Placer County Sheriff’s Office has reported that escaped inmate Eric Abril,35 had been apprehended.
Abril escaped from care at Sutter Roseville Hospital early Sunday morning, initiating a full manhunt involving multiple law enforcement agencies overnight.
While full details have yet to be released, that around 12:20 p.m., Abril was located by law enforcement and taken into custody. Abril was located hiding in a green belt on Zion Court at Bryce Way, in Rocklin.
Abril was still wearing belly chains and in jail boxers when he was taken into custody. We thank every law enforcement agency that participated in the manhunt to bring Abril back into custody, according to authorities.
Abril was in custody facing murder charges after he allegedly took hostages and shot and killed a 72-year-old man in a Roseville park and shoot and injured a California Highway Patrol officer at Mahany Park in April. The incident resulted in an afternoon of gunfire as a standoff ensued until he was unjured and apprehended.
More details to be released on this story as this is a developing story.
