Law enforcement is providing an update Tuesday morning on efforts to recapture Danelo Souza Cavalcante, a convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison last week.
The press conference from the Pennsylvania State Police and the Chester County District Attorney's Office will be held at 8:30 a.m. ET. USA TODAY will be providing live coverage of the press conference. You can watch live at the video at the top of the page or on USA TODAY's YouTube channel.
The manhunt for Cavalcante expanded to include immediate areas surrounding Longwood Gardens, according to law enforcement, and is still an active and ongoing investigation. Officials are urging people near the area to check surveillance cameras around the home, cars and to remain vigilant, and to call 911 immediately with any information on Cavalcante's current location.
Who is Danelo Souza Cavalcante?
34-year-old Danelo Cavalcante, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for stabbing 33-year-old Deborah Brandao to death in 2021 while her 7-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son were present. He was awaiting transfer to a state facility when he escaped Chester County Prison just outside Philadelphia on Thursday.

According to authorities, who have issued a $10,000 reward for information leading to his capture, he was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, gray shorts and white sneakers.
He's also wanted for a 2017 murder in his native Brazil, the district attorney's office said.
Officials didn't say how Cavalcante escaped, but said he was last seen by an eyewitness Sunday afternoon in Pocopson Township. The acting warden of the prison, Howard Holland, earlier said Cavalcante "physically escaped," but said he didn't cut any fences to do so.
