Wanted prisoner, who escaped from prison San Quentin

21-year-old Shalom Mendoza was last seen 26 December at 18 hours to work on building outside the protected area of the prison. A subsequent search confirmed that a prisoner escaped.

Police believe that the same evening in the Parking lot less than a mile from the prison, the man stole a silver Toyota RAV4 with numbers 6STZ502. The video surveillance shows that the man matching the description of Mendoza, in a white t-shirt and khaki shorts approaches the woman and threatening her with a gesture. The victim said he hid under his shirt, something similar to a gun and threatened to shoot her and demanded the car keys. The assailant then got in his car and left. The woman was not injured.
