A prisoner sentenced to life for murder fled custody Sunday night, prompting a statewide manhunt.

A male inmate in Tennessee, who is serving a life term for murder, escaped from custody during the night of Sunday.

State officials have launched a search operation to locate the fugitive and have asked the public to remain vigilant.

Law enforcement agencies are employing standard tracking methods and coordinating with neighboring jurisdictions as part of the pursuit.

No additional details about the inmate's whereabouts have been released, and authorities continue to advise anyone with information to contact police.

The prison’s administration confirmed that the inmate remains at large and that security protocols are being reviewed.

Officials have not disclosed whether any assistance from federal agencies has been requested in the ongoing manhunt.
