A 15-YEAR-OLD youth in trial for the 2017 stabbing murder of his mother in Garden Grove was arrested after he briefly escaped from juvenile hall (Shutterstock).

A former Garden Grove youth charged with stabbing his mother to death in May 2017 escaped from Juvenile Hall in Orange Friday but was recaptured at a McDonald’s restaurant in Anaheim.

Ike Souzer, 15, was apprehended after a search by police officers, FBI agents, sheriff’s deputies and federal marshals, according to the Associated Press. He managed to escape the facility through the roof and then jumping over a perimeter fence.

He was in the middle of a murder trial in juvenile court when he made his short-lived escape.

Souzer allegedly stabbed his mother – Barbara Scheuer-Souzer, 48 – on May 3, 2017.
