(NewsNation Now) — Authorities in northeast Tennessee say two inmates who fled from a jail have died in North Carolina, while the search for a third fugitive continues.

Local law enforcement say they believe the three men escaped Friday morning through the HVAC system at the Sullivan County Jail in Blountville, Tennessee.

Tobias Wayne Carr, 38, and Timothy Allen Sarver, 45, died in Wilmington, North Carolina, the Sullivan County, Tennessee, Sheriff’s Office said Monday.

Carr had been indicted on second-degree murder charges in connection to the stabbing of his wife in 2019.

According to preliminary information, the men led authorities on a pursuit following a convenience store robbery in another part of North Carolina, and the vehicle was disabled, the sheriff’s office said on its Facebook page.

No other details were immediately released.

The sheriff’s office said Johnny Shane Brown, 50, remained at large. Law enforcement officials say anyone who spots him should immediately call 911 and not approach him.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Marshals Service have been involved in the investigation.
