Autistic 15-Year-Old Who Allegedly Killed Mom Escapes Prison

Ike Souzer reportedly stabbed his mother and left her to die in front of their home in 2017.

An autistic teenage boy accused of killing his mother in 2017 escaped from a California juvenile prison, The Orange County Register reports. Ike Souzer, 15, reportedly escaped from Orange County Juvenile Hall at around 12:10 a.m. Friday morning and it was not immediately clear to police how he escaped. “He was in a locked room and then he got outside of that room and made his way outside of our facility by climbing over a fence,” Chief Probation Officer Steve Sentman said in a news conference Friday. Prison staff reportedly discovered he was missing during a room count.

Souzer was reportedly arrested after he stabbed his mother, Barbara Scheuer-Souzer, and left her to die in front of their home. As Scheuer-Souzer was dying, she reportedly told police her then-13-year-old son stabbed her. Police found Souzer in an alley soon after and was reportedly in custody ever since. According to the Register, the 15-year-old is a white male who is about six feet tall and 200 pounds. He is reportedly believed to be wearing a white t-shirt and red pants with a wound on his leg.
