INDIANAPOIS, Ind. – A man accused of a 2021 murder in Minneapolis was released from jail mistakenly. Kevin Mason, 28, had been arrested on a Minnesota warrant two days earlier. Apparently the release was a clericl error. Two civilian employees in Marion County sheriff’s office were fired immediately. Mason had been on the run when he was arrested. The charge was homicide in the shooting of Dontevious Catchings, a 29-year-old father of two, outside a Minneapolis church during a funeral in 2021. Mason had been harbored by a girlfriend in Indianapolis, police said. She was arrested too. How did Mason get away? Sheriff Kerry Forestal said two clerks messed up in the four layers that prisoners go through: ‘It should not have had happened.”
Mason. On the run and believed still in Indianapolis.
