MARTINEZ — Federal and local authorities have launched a manhunt after a man who was awaiting extradition to Seattle for a pending murder charge was released from jail, under circumstances that the Contra Costa Sheriff’s office says remain under investigation.
The search for 20-year-old Isaiah Jamon Andrews, of Kent, Wash. began sometime after authorities released him from the Martinez Detention Facility last Wednesday, sheriff’s office spokesperson Jimmy Lee said in a statement. The office didn’t announce Andrews had been released until Monday afternoon, hours after this news organization learned of the incident and reached out to Lee for comment.
Andrews was arrested Oct. 18 in Antioch, following a police chase there. Officers discovered he had a pending arrest warrant for allegedly killing a 20-year-old man in Seattle three days earlier, authorities said. He was expected to be extradited back to Washington.
