Wright is suspected of shooting the gun that killed musician Kyle Yorlets in February. Marsh is accused of murdering Charlie Easley, 19, at the Point Breeze Apartments on Lemont Drive in April.
Brandon Caruthers and Howse were in the center for robbery and gun possession charges. Marsh and Caruthers are still on the loose, and Caruthers was added to the TBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted list Monday evening.
According to a report, the teens were out of their cells cleaning when their supervisor left the group to break up a fight somewhere else in the facility, the four then got onto an elevator that was left open and convinced a staff member to send the elevator to the basement, which is an unsecured area. Once in the basement they were able to leave the facility.
