An attempted murder suspect was let go after a Bronx court clerk mistakenly marked him for release without bail, court officials said Thursday.
The mistaken release of Nikim Meekins, 22, came just days after a murder suspect was accidentally freed from the Rikers Island jail complex.
Once the judge realized what happened with Meekins, a warrant was issued for him. Meekins was supposed to be held on $300,000 bond in the attempted murder case. Charges against him in a separate case caused the mix up.
The mix up will be addressed from “a personnel and training perspective,” court spokesperson Lucian Chalfen said.
Boy oh boy, it's like they can't wait to build those 4 tower jails. There's two fugitive accused killers out there now, be aware of your surroundings
Update: One of the fugitives turned himself in. The first one is still out there.
