Murder Suspect Accused of Felony Charges Escapes Georgia Jail, Multi-State Manhunt Underway

A murder suspect has escaped from a Georgia jail, prompting a multi-state manhunt. Pablo Zuriel Miranda broke out of the Atkinson County Jail at around 6:30 a.m. Sunday, according to KOCO News.
Miranda had been held without bond since his arrest on May 1, 2024. He faces serious felony charges, including aggravated assault and two counts of murder and felony murder, WISN reported.
The escape happened in the early morning hours at the Atkinson County Jail in southern Georgia. Miranda got out at roughly 6:30 a.m., according to KETV. Authorities have not yet said how he managed to break free from the facility.
Miranda was first arrested on May 1, 2024, and had been kept behind bars without bond ever since. His charges — aggravated assault and two counts of murder — made him ineligible for release, KCCI reported.
Sheriff David Moore is leading the response and said multiple law enforcement agencies across several states are now involved in the search. Authorities believe Miranda may have left Georgia, widening the hunt beyond the local area, KCRA reported.
Officials have not shared details about where Miranda may be headed or what resources are being used to track him. The search was still active as of Sunday, with no word yet on his capture.
Authorities are urging the public to stay away from Miranda. Sheriff Moore warned that he should be considered dangerous due to the nature of his charges. Anyone who spots him is told to call law enforcement immediately, according to KOCO News.
Miranda faces two murder counts, making him one of the more serious fugitives currently being sought in the region. No physical description or photo details were released in early reports, KETV noted.
