A murder suspect was mistakenly released from New York City’s Rikers Island and is still missing.
Christopher Buggs, 26, was released from the Otis Bantum Correctional Center on March 8, the New York City Department of Corrections confirmed to the Daily Caller.
Buggs was released due to a clerical error and is currently armed and dangerous, according to Fox News. A judge sentenced Buggs to 30 days regarding a different criminal case and that sentence was mistakenly listed as the final disposition in the murder case, the New York Daily News reported.
Buggs is accused of shooting and killing 55-year-old Ernesto Brownlee outside a bodega in Brooklyn in 2018, according to Pix 11. Buggs allegedly shot Brownlee an ex-convict who killed two men in the 1980’s in the chest three times, according to the New York Daily News.
A New York City murder suspect mistakenly released from Rikers Island remained at-large Wednesday, and corrections officers were warned that the 26-year-old is considered armed and so dangerous and they should call NYPD instead of trying to apprehend him themselves.
