MARION, Ala. (AP) — A teenager charged with murder in west Alabama has been captured following his second escape from jail in days, authorities said Tuesday.
Aldonte Jaquan Banks, 17, was captured late Monday, District Attorney Michael Jackson said. Banks, who escaped from the Perry County Jail earlier in the day, surrendered to police near Uniontown with assistance from his mother and an aunt, he said.
Banks was charged with murder in the shooting of Jimmie Rembert Jr., 25, on June 2. Banks, Rembert and a third man were together firing handguns into the air when Banks allegedly shot Rembert multiple times, court documents show.
Jailed since days after the slaying, Banks escaped from jail last weekend also but was captured, Jackson said.
