The same trio of teenagers who escaped from a Jackson detention center have been captured after being on the run for a little under a week.
Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones posted on social media Monday at 1:49 a.m. that Jashon Jones, 15, Robert Earl Smith, 16, and Tayshon Holmes, 17, had broken out of the Henley-Young-Patton Juvenile Justice Center.
The three teens stole a blue 2007 Jeep Liberty from the parking lot, which was recovered on Wilson Street in Jackson, before carjacking two additional vehicles and shooting an Adams County woman in the neck.
All three juveniles have since been taken into custody in Adams County, with law enforcement agencies across the state and Louisiana assisting with the apprehension.
Prior to his escape, Jones had been charged with armed robbery and auto theft for an incident that occurred in July 2022. Holmes was facing an aggravated assault charge for a September 2023 incident, while Smith was charged with first degree murder for the death of William Doug Wood in January 2023.
In June 2023, the trio of Smith, Holmes, and Jones escaped from the same detention center and were captured over the next eight days.
At this time, each teen is expected to face additional charges for their escape.
Earlier in the week, Jones revealed that three other detainees had been transported to a local hospital for injuries sustained during the disturbance and before the escapes. Their injuries are considered non-life threatening.
