2 held in escape of slaying suspect
From the Associated Press
Officials say two teenagers are in custody in connection with the jailbreak of a 17-year-old murder suspect from a juvenile detention center.
The San Mateo County sheriff said Martin Villa Patino and Vanher Cho, both 18, helped push Josue Raul Orozco over a 10-foot concrete security wall Thursday night. Orozco escaped through the hole cut in a chain-link fence that surrounds the exercise area.
Orozco was being tried as an adult for murder in connection with a drive-by shooting in Redwood City.
