Murder Suspect Christopher Haynes, Who Escaped Hospital in September, Recaptured in Maryland After Seven-Week Manhunt

Haynes, initially arrested for the murder of Brent Hayward, escaped from George Washington University Hospital after assaulting an officer, leading to a seven-week manhunt that ended in Maryland.

Christopher Haynes, 30, was recaptured in Oxon Hill, Maryland, after escaping from George Washington University Hospital in September during an officer's attempt to change his handcuffs.
Haynes was originally arrested on September 6 in relation to the murder of Brent Hayward, 33, on August 12, but managed to escape the hospital by assaulting an officer, prompting a seven-week manhunt.
Haynes' escape triggered a multi-agency search, temporary road closures near the White House, and a shelter-in-place order at George Washington University; despite a $30,000 reward for information leading to his arrest, his whereabouts remained unknown for nearly two months.
While the exact circumstances of Haynes' recapture were not detailed, it was reported that the U.S. Marshals' helicopter and the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Taskforce were involved in the operation; police did not disclose if anyone aided Haynes while he was on the run.
In addition to his pending homicide charge, Haynes will now face additional charges relating to his escape.
