One of four Mississippi inmates who were on the run after escaping from jail more than a week ago has been found dead in Louisiana, police say.
Casey Grayson, 34, was found deceased Sunday inside a “vehicle at a truck stop” in New Orleans, Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones announced.
Jones told reporters Tuesday that police believe a family member may have provided the vehicle to Grayson after his escape.
“There was drug paraphernalia and suspected narcotics recovered in close proximity to where he was discovered in the vehicle,” he added, according to ABC News.
All four of the escaped inmates were being held on a variety of felony charges, most involving theft. Grayson had been incarcerated for grand larceny, possession and sale of a controlled substance and illegal possession of a firearm, according to WLBT-TV.
