Luxor bomber escapes Las Vegas prison where he was serving life term

Porfirio Duarte-Herrera, 42, has been missing since Friday evening from the Southern Desert Correctional Center in Indian Springs, a medium-security facility northwest of Las Vegas, according to the Nevada Department of Corrections.

But prison officials did not notice Duarte-Herrera was missing until a 7 a.m. headcount on Tuesday.

At the time of the escape, he was serving a life sentence at the Southern Nevada prison for his 2009 conviction in Clark County.

Duarte-Herrera is 5-foot-4, 135 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. He has no tattoos.

Authorities said he should be considered dangerous and should not be approached. Instead, anyone with information on his whereabouts should call 911.

NDOC has not released further details about Duarte-Herrera’s escape, including why it took days before prison officials realized he was missing.

The department said the prison was placed on a full lockdown Tuesday, and “escape procedures” were initiated around 8 a.m. after an additional emergency headcount confirmed Duarte-Herrera was gone.
