Murder Suspect Allegedly Attempts Escape from Harris County Jail
A man accused of murdering his supervisor in 2022 is facing new charges after allegedly attempting to escape from the Harris County Jail. Montavius Wright, who was charged with the murder of his 48-year-old supervisor Doran Kelly, worked alongside him at Cedar Gate Technologies, a healthcare payment company located in Greenway Plaza.
According to court documents, Wright has now been charged with felony escape after allegedly trying to flee from the jail earlier this week. The documents state that the defendant managed to change his location within the jail and don civilian clothing on the secured side of the facility. He then waited by an exit door in an attempt to make his escape. Unfortunately for Wright, as someone went through the door he had been waiting by, it closed and locked before he could exit the building.
Authorities are currently investigating how Wright was able to access civilian clothing within the jail. In the meantime, Wright remains in custody at the Harris County Jail, awaiting trial for the murder charge he is facing.
The incident has brought attention to the issues of security and safety within the county jail system. Questions arise as to how an inmate could successfully attempt an escape and how such situations can be prevented in the future. Both jail administrators and law enforcement agencies are likely to scrutinize the jail’s protocols to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again.
The murder case involving Wright has already received significant attention due to its tragic nature – the loss of a life in a workplace setting. Now, with the additional charge of attempted escape, the spotlight on this case intensifies. The public will be closely following the legal proceedings as they unfold, eager to see justice served for the victim, Doran Kelly, and his family.
The incident has also raised concerns about the safety of employees and workplaces in general. The tragic shooting at Greenway Plaza last year highlighted the vulnerability that can exist even in seemingly secure environments. Employers may now be prompted to assess their own security measures and consider implementing additional safeguards to protect their employees.
Overall, the alleged escape attempt by Montavius Wright has thrust this murder case back into the public eye. As the legal process continues, all eyes will be on the courtroom, waiting to see the outcome of this troubling situation. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining robust security measures, both in correctional facilities and in workplaces, to ensure the safety and well-being of all individuals involved.
