Homicide Suspect Accidentally Released from Indiana Jail Sparks Manhunt

A manhunt is underway for Kevin Mason, a suspect in a 2021 killing, who was accidentally released from a detention center in Indianapolis due to a faulty records review. Mason, who was sought on three Minnesota warrants including murder, parole violation, and firearms possession, was released after clerical errors. Two inmate records clerks involved in the release have been fired, and an internal investigation is ongoing. The search for Mason, who has local ties to Indianapolis, is being conducted by the authorities, including the US Marshals Service. The public is urged to provide any information on his whereabouts, but not to approach him.
