Hooligan Escapes from Juvenile Hall
By cutting a hole in a fence at the Hillcrest Juvenile Hall in San Mateo, an 17-year-old murder suspect and alleged gang member escaped to sweet freedom this last night. Awaiting trial this May, he is accused of a murder three years ago in Redwood City.
Be on the lookout for a nubile teen with clashing attire. It seems he was "last seen wearing a yellow shirt and blue pants." How tacky.
We'll update with more info as it comes in.
UPDATE: His name is Josue Raul Orozco, he's a Sureño gang member, and here's a pretty picture of him! He looks ten-years-old.

Calling a 14-year old killer a 'hooligan' is a little bit of a soft-sell, don'cha think? Guy's very possibly an illegal as well, but then we just LOVE them, don't we?

people still doing jail breaks in 2008?
and a 14 year old at that?
says a lot about the system in San Mateo.
Nothing makes me feel safer than knowing that murdering gang members are being locked up in juvenile hall.
There is an upside to this escape. It gives the cops an opportunity to shot him so we don't have to pay to keep him locked in a cage the rest of his life.
Electrify the fences. How high does green voltage go up to?
This so-called hooligan shot and killed my godson, Francisco Rodriguez, 3 years ago. Shame on you all for taking this so lightly. Yes, Francisco was also a gang member but he'd become a family man with 2 kids and a wife. Josue was fulfilling his fate as a hard-core Sureno and he deserves a very long sentence. Shame on Hillcrest for allowing him to be able to orchestrate an escape.
that is so sad msb. thanks for posting here and making this real. not enough of that to go around here for sure.
i have a real problem with juvenile murderers being allowed to hide behind their age.
when he was 14 he should have been tried for murder and gotten the chair.
