Danelo Cavalcante: Escaped prisoner now armed

A homeowner fired several times at escaped killer Danelo Cavalcante when he broke into his home and stole a .22 caliber rifle Monday night, officials confirmed as they continue to intensify the manhunt for the now-armed murderer. Cavalcante has eluded capture since Aug. 31, when he acrobatically broke out of the Chester County Prison while awaiting transfer to a different lockup. He had been sentenced to life in prison for fatally stabbing an ex-girlfriend in 2021, allegedly to stop her from telling police that he was wanted in a slaying in his home country of Brazil.
