The MPD advised that the 22-year-old Phillips was able to wriggle away from his police detail during a planned medical visit at an area hospital early on Tuesday, March 7, and remained on the run hours later at approximately 7 p.m., as the Department of Corrections continue their exhaustive search.
Phillips was previously arrested in November 2021 and held in DC Jail on carjacking and burglary charges. He made his great escape as he was being transported by DOC staff to Howard University Hospital for medical treatment, fleeing the facility on foot wearing a black shirt and red and blue underwear.
In new photos, Phillips can be seen wearing a dark-colored hoodie, jeans, and white sneakers.
He was described by police as being 6-foot tall, weighing approximately 210 pounds with a light brown complexion.
Anyone with information regarding Phillips or his whereabouts has been asked to contact detectives at the Metropolitan Police Department by calling (202) 727-9099 or the agency’s text tip line at 50411.
