Search for Ramone Alston, who killed a 1-year-old on Christmas Day in 2015, enters day two in central North Carolina.
, who escaped custody in the parking lot of UNC Hospitals Hillsborough Campus on Tuesday morning, has entered a second day.The U.S. Marshals Service agreed to add $10,000 to the reward for information leading to Alston's capture. The reward now sits at $35,000. A new phone number has been set up to help streamline tips to investigators focusing on this case. That number is 919-324-1082.
Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood said his investigators have received a few unconfirmed sightings of Alston in Durham. He said the team is following up on those leads but stressed that none of those sightings have been confirmed. As for Alston's appearance, Blackwood said Alston did have dreadlocks that were pulled back at the time of his escape. However, it's entirely possible that he has since cut his hair or done something else to style it differently. That's one reason why investigators have released several different pictures of Alston.
"I've known Ramone since he was born. He was a troubled child, and he's been involved in criminal activity since he was a juvenile. He's extremely cagey; he's extremely dangerous, and he has nothing to lose."The sheriff's office said Alston managed to free himself from leg restraints while inside a North Carolina Department of Adult Correction vehicle in the parking lot of the clinic. The vehicle was a Chevrolet Traverse.
