Stevenson Charles, Yusuf Minor and Naod Yohannes, all incarcerated for murder, recaptured on Tuesday
Three men who escaped from a Georgia jail for three days hijacked a Lyft rideshare as part of a brazen attempt to flee to south Florida, according to newly released federal court documents.
Stevenson Charles, 24; Yusuf Minor, 31; and Naod Yohannes, 25, are accused of escaping from the DeKalb county jail, located 15 miles (24km) outside Atlanta, on Sunday before being recaptured in Florida on Tuesday.
The latest records provide further insight into how the men, who are all incarcerated for violent crimes, including murder charges, managed to escape and travel through several states.
The rideshare driver told the FBI that the trio ordered a Lyft using a fake, female name, according to an affidavit, NBC News reported. Minor’s girlfriend allegedly helped the men order the Lyft ride, prosecutors said.
