Three inmates who made a daring escape from a jail in DeKalb County, Georgia, were apprehended in Miami, Florida, on Monday, bringing an end to a wide-scale manhunt that spanned multiple states. This operation was spearheaded by the U.S. Marshals Service in collaboration with various regional fugitive task forces.

The escapees, identified as 24-year-old Stevenson Charles, 31-year-old Yusuf Minor, and 25-year-old Naod Yohannes, fled the DeKalb County Jail located in Decatur, a suburb northeast of Atlanta, in the early hours of Monday morning.

Each of these individuals was facing serious felony charges, including murder, arson, and armed robbery. Authorities from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office had warned that the men were dangerous and potentially armed.

During the investigation, it was discovered that Charles had reached out to his girlfriend residing in Florida. Around 2:30 a.m., a Lyft vehicle arrived to collect all three fugitives from the residence of Minor’s girlfriend.

The driver then took the suspects to a vacant address in Stone Mountain, Georgia, associated with Minor.

Investigators identified the Lyft driver and began efforts to locate her.

Authorities later determined the fugitives allegedly forced the driver to take them to Florida along a route toward the Miami area, where Charles’ girlfriend was located.

At about 9:30 p.m. Monday, investigators learned the fugitives had rented an Airbnb in Miramar, Florida.

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office spotted the Lyft vehicle about 10:45 p.m. and attempted a traffic stop, but Charles and Yohannes fled.

By 11:40 p.m., all three fugitives were apprehended without further incident.

The Lyft driver was located and treated by emergency responders.

A Lyft spokesperson told Fox News Digital the company is working with law enforcement in any way it can.

“We are deeply concerned by this incident and relieved that the driver is safe,” the spokesperson said. “Our hearts are with the driver, and we have reached out to offer support.”

The investigation into the escape remains ongoing.

According to the U.S. Marshals Service, Charles was convicted of federal weapons violations and sentenced to 10 years to life in prison. Minor was convicted of murder in 2024 and is serving a life sentence, while Yohannes was being held on arson and criminal damage charges. All three now face additional charges.
