A man convicted of murder in Prince George’s County continues to evade police after he escaped from a Hagerstown prison Saturday morning.

Kanderlario Garcia-Ramos, 23, surmounted the 18-foot barbed wire fence at the medium-security men’s prison, a state police spokesman said.

Garcia-Ramos is not believed to be armed, but he could be dangerous, the spokesman said. Motorists should be wary of hitchhikers.

In December 2007, Garcia-Ramos was convicted of murdering his former boss, Fernando Monge. According to court documents, Monge was stabbed during a robbery just weeks after Garcia-Ramos had been fired. Video footage caught Garcia-Ramos in the store just as he was about to attack Monge, and he was spotted by several witnesses as well.
