LOS ANGELES – California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) officials are seeking a person who walked away from a Male Community Reentry Program (MCRP) in Los Angeles on Feb. 14, 2024.
Adolfo Casillas, 26, was reported missing just before midnight after an alert was received regarding the removal of an ankle monitor. Staff immediately initiated an emergency count that confirmed Casillas was missing and then launched a search. CDCR’s Office of Correctional Safety and local law enforcement agencies have been notified and are assisting.
Casillas is 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds. He has brow eyes and black hair and was last seen wearing gray shorts and a light-gray hooded sweater.
Casillas was received from Los Angeles County on Aug. 19, 2019. He was sentenced to 14 years for attempted second-degree murder with an enhancement of the Street Gang Act in commission of a serious felony. Casillas has been housed at the MCRP in Los Angeles since Jan. 23, 2024.
Anyone who sees Casillas or has knowledge of his whereabouts should contact law enforcement or call 9-1-1.
The MCRP allows eligible people committed to state prison to serve the end of their sentences in the re-entry center and provides them the programs and tools necessary to transition from custody to the community. It is a voluntary program for male offenders who have two years or less left to serve. The program links offenders to a range of community-based rehabilitative services that assist with substance use disorders, mental health care, medical care, employment, education, housing, family reunification and social support.
Since 1977, 99 percent of all people who have left an adult institution, camp, or community-based program without permission have been apprehended.
