Shane Pryor was apprehended by the US Marshals Service at 3rd and Boulevard on Sunday, Jan. 28, just after boarding a bus, officials said.

Pryor, who was charged with murder as an adult back in 2020, was being taken with a hand injury to CHOP by the Juvenile Justice Service Center on Jan. 24, police said.

A video showed Pryor in the hospital lobby just after he escaped custody, where he was denied the use of a phone.

Michael Diggs, 18, is believed to have helped Pryor escape custody this week and has been charged with Hindering Apprehension, Escape, Use of Communication Facility, and Criminal Conspiracy.

New charges against Pryor for this escape have yet to be filed.
