SANTA ANA, Calif. (KABC) – Orange County Attorney’s Office officials warned the public Friday about an “extremely dangerous and brutal criminal” who disappeared from a house.
18-year-old Ike Nicholas Souser, who escaped arrest in April 2019 for one day, was convicted in June of the same year of manslaughter for the murder of his mother in 2017, when he was 13 years old.
A few days ago, he was released from prison in a house halfway to Santa Ana with an electronic monitor, but authorities could not find him.
He was convicted by Orange County Court Judge Douglas J. Hachimonji, while in custody, was convicted in December last year of assaulting three correctional officers, prosecutors said.
Souser was ordered to carry an electronic monitor until the end of his sentence until July 9, 2023, and was released from a house in Santa Ana, prosecutors said.
Authorities advised anyone who saw Souzer to call 911 immediately.
While on trial for the murder of his 47-year-old mother, Barbara Schoyer-Souser, he fled the juvenile court in Orange shortly after midnight on April 12, 2019, and was arrested the next day at a McDonald’s restaurant in Anaheim.
Souzer stabbed her mother at their residence at Block 11000 on Gilbert Street in Garden Grove on May 4, 2017. She told authorities before she died in hospital that her son was the one who attacked her.
