#NEWS: IL/MS: Escaped inmate wanted for murder in Mississippi barricaded in Chicago restaurant less than a mile from DNC From CNN's Melissa Alonso An escaped inmate, who has been on the run from a Mississippi courthouse for over two months, barricaded himself in a Chicago restaurant Tuesday— a few blocks from the Democratic National Convention venue. Joshua Zimmerman, 30, has been at large for 68 days since escaping from a DeSoto County, Mississippi courthouse, according to DeSoto County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Justin Smith. Zimmerman is "wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service for murder, escape and armed robbery," the agency's website says. On Tuesday afternoon, the sheriff's office "received information from the United States Marshall service that they located Zimmerman in a restaurant in Chicago, Illinois," Smith said during a Tuesday evening briefing. Zimmerman is currently barricaded inside a restaurant in Chicago, surrounded by the Chicago SWAT team, Smith said. "It's an ongoing event," according to Smith. Video from CNN affiliate WBBM of the barricaded scene shows Chicago SWAT outside a West Side restaurant. Zimmerman is in the restaurant alone and no civilians are at risk, according to Smith. It's unclear how Zimmerman got to Chicago, Chief Deputy Smith said. The sheriff's office plans to interview Zimmerman to gather more facts about his escape once he is detained and extradited to Mississippi. CNN has reached out to the U.S. Marshals Service for more information. Sheriff briefing MS# 20889632 Source WMC Chicago barricaded scene MS# 20889727 SOURCE: WBBM
