Convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante, 34, was spotted in Pocopson Township, about 1.5 miles away from the Pennsylvania prison where he escaped from on Thursday.
Cavalcante was captured on a residential surveillance camera at around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, according to the Chester County District Attorney. He was wearing pants, a light-colored t-shirt and white sneakers. He has long, back curly hair and was wearing a backpack.
Cavalcante was convicted of first-degree murder on Aug. 16 for fatally stabbing his 33-year-old former girlfriend. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole last week.
He was set to be transferred to a state correctional institution in four weeks before he escaped, according to Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan.
Police said they received a report of an attempted burglary in Pocopson Township at around 11:30 p.m.
Hundreds of law enforcement personnel, including U.S. Marshals, SWAT, local, state and other federal agencies are currently searching the surrounding area.
Cavalcante is from Brazil. Officials said he is 5 feet tall and weighs 120 pounds and has shaggy black hair and brown eyes.
