Ike Nicholas Souzer Captured in Mexico After Probation Violation

Convicted of killing his mother as a teen, Souzer was arrested following a week-long manhunt.

Ike Nicholas Souzer, 20, was arrested in Rosarito, Mexico, after violating probation conditions by leaving a halfway house in California.
Previously convicted for the manslaughter of his mother at age 13, Souzer has a history of violence and multiple escapes from custody.
Authorities described Souzer as 'extremely dangerous and violent,' highlighting his record of attacks on correctional officers and possession of a weapon in jail.
Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer criticized judges for leniency in Souzer's sentencing, attributing to his repeated offenses and escapes.
Project Kinship, the transitional facility Souzer escaped from, focuses on rehabilitation for individuals affected by substance abuse, gangs, and incarceration.
