Description
Two detainees escaped from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Aurora on Tuesday after a power outage but were not discovered to be missing until several hours later, according to an Aurora Police Department report obtained by 9NEWS.
The report says a staff member from the ICE facility notified APD that staff noticed the two men were missing at 12:35 a.m. on March 19. However, it says the last time they were accounted for was at 2 p.m. on March 18 when a facility-wide count was completed.
Vido Romero Gueilond-Jose and Joel Jose Gonzalez-Gonzalez are both still at large, according to ICE.
The report from APD says they were told that there was a power outage at the facility at 9:30 p.m. on March 18 and that during the outage the back doors of the facility opened up to a soccer field. The staff member said he believed the men escaped through that door during the outage.
