(San Quentin, CA) -- A manhunt is over for an inmate who escaped from San Quentin State Prison. Shalom Mendoza was reported missing last Wednesday night and was captured Saturday at a restaurant in Paso Robles. His car was found abandoned last Friday near a freeway north of Paso Robles.
Mendoza was serving a five-year prison sentence for using a deadly weapon during a Los Angeles County carjacking in 2017, and arrived at the state's oldest prison in April.
