Man accused of killing Wake deputy escapes from Virginia jail

Alder Alfonso Marin-Sotelo is accused along with his brother of shooting and killing Wake County Deputy Ned Byrd in August. Early Sunday morning, Marin-Sotelo escaped from a jail in Virginia. Another inmate from North Carolina in an unrelated case also escaped from the same jail later that day. Both escapes have prompted a massive manhunt. WRAL has multiple crews covering this developing story. In this episode, we speak to WRAL reporter Chelsea Donovan.
