The teenager, identified only as Jericho W., was hit with two counts of first-degree murder Oct. 17 in the deaths of brothers Frank Thomas, 34, and Adam Thomas, 33, local NBC affiliate WRAL reported at the time.

The teen made a run for it around 12:10 p.m. after appearing in Robeson County Court, the North Carolina Department of Public Safety said.

He was last seen barefoot and in leg cuffs, wearing a white T-shirt and beige pants. He’s described as being about 5 feet tall and approximately 110 pounds.

is there a way to get those leg cuffs off?

It’s been in the thirties here at night, dropping to the 20s in a couple of days. He’ll have to find shelter soon. Hope they find him, he’s bound to be pretty dangerous both to others and himself.

He's 13 y/o -- I wonder if leg cuffs come in an adult size and a smaller (or maybe women's) size? I have no idea what they look like or how they work, but I wonder if his feet could be small enough to slip out of them?

And mom Nikki Jacobs is blaming everyone on this green earth for her sons troubles.

She called cops, social services and uh you name it, and nobody helped so naturally the kid is going to murder two people in a drug related crime. Not judging. I wouldn't want to be in her place.

Man, he looks even younger than his age. I'd probably throw him a few bucks if I saw him on the street. Sans shackles that is.

Soooo, where’s Dad? Kids act out when there’s no one to lead the way. What 13 y/o has 19 y/o friends?? That’s no friend.

Probably hiding with “friends” in the area.
MOO
