Houston ? A death row inmate who slipped out of a Texas jail wearing street clothes was captured Sunday in Shreveport, La., the U.S. Marshals Service said.

Marianne Matus, a Marshals spokeswoman in Houston, confirmed Sunday night that convicted killer Charles Victor Thompson was in custody.

No details about how authorities found him were immediately released, but Matus had said earlier in the day that they had received valuable tips about his possible whereabouts. A $10,000 reward had been offered for information leading to his capture.

Thompson, 35, had been convicted in 1999 for the shooting deaths a year earlier of his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend. On Oct. 28, a jury sentenced him to death.

On Thursday, he was in the Harris County Jail awaiting transfer to a state prison when he was taken to a room for a meeting with an attorney.

After the attorney left, Thompson was alone. Somehow, he removed his handcuffs, changed out of his bright orange prison jumpsuit into clothes, and got out of the prisoner’s booth in the visiting room, authorities said.

Using a falsified ID badge, he got past at least four jail employees and walked out of the building.
